No. I am intentionally not providing you with code that is a solution, so that you will be forced to understand it, and fix it, yourself. And also so that you cannot submit my code for you assignment without understanding it.

All you need to do is understand the above example and write the few remaining, intentionally omitted lines of code that are missing in the TODO sections. Remove the error message that is being concatenating into the output. Write a loop. Call a function, get a result. Append that result to the output.

@TfGuy44 Sorry, I was referring to your previous post and I think you are referring to @Dee-3_123 with your last reply 🙂

Oh! Yes, I was. Sorry. Your icons are both pinkish D’s, so I assumed you were him.

… I don’t believe I have made a mistake. That is clearly text that has been encoded using the process described above.

Make sure that when you try to DECODE it, you are not still trying to ENCODE it!
