I don't know what is wrong with this code pls help

Spy life I'm python Task: Create a program that will take the encoded message, flip it around, remove any characters that are not a letter or a space, and output the hidden message. Input Format: A string of characters that represent the encoded message. Output Format: A string of character that represent the intended secret message. Code message= input('enter an encrypted message :') for x in message: if (x.isalpha() and x.isspace()): print(reversed(message))

Pg1001 , there are some issues in the code. it could be done more simplified, but i have tried to be as close as possible to your code sample. see the comments: message= input() # do not use any user prompt when doing a code coach exercise fin_str = '' # a string to collect the valid characters for x in message: if (x.isalpha() or x.isspace()): # logical operator has to be *or* fin_str = x + fin_str # collect the characters in reverse order print(fin_str)

Pg1001 , the code works as expected. it looks like you are not able to copy and paste the code i mentioned. check that your final print(...) statement has the correct indentstion.

message = input() res=""#holds the filtered output for char in message: if (char.isalpha() or char == " "): #does the checking whether it's either a character or space res+=char print(res[::-1]) # to flip it

I am sure there is an easier way than I will explain: If you are just extracting letters and space in reverse order: Input: "tset 321 tset" Output: "test 123 test" I would traverse the input string backwards and append to a new string: Input output r w abc^ 123 3 r w abc^ 123 32 r w abc^ 123 321 r w abc^ 123 321 i abc^ 123 321 r w abc^ 123 321 c etc....
