If you didn't code this program, you are required by SoloLearn to provide a link to where it comes from (or Sololearn profile name) or keep it private. 1 character_set = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789 " 2 secret_key = "Dd18Abz2EqNPW hYTOjBvtVlpXaH6msFUICg4o0KZwJeryQx3f9kSinRu5L7cGM" 3 encrypted_message = "" 4 for character in my_string: 5 index = character_set.find(character) 6 encrypted_message = encrypted_message + secret_key[index] Line 1 lists all characters that have a mapping. Line 2 lists the mapped characters so all 'a' become 'D'. Line 3 initializes the result string to empty. Line 4 loops once for each character in the argument my_string Line 5 returns the index of the character in the character_set string Line 6 will crash when a character not listed in character_set is processed as -1 isn't a valid index, otherwise it finds the mapped character in secret_key and adds it to the current encrypted_message string
