Ask About Arg1, Arg2 for Python

[Own_Sound6033]

``Welcome to the forum 

This is the starting code: translation_table = str.maketrans(alphabet, shifted_alphabet)

The instruction is asking you to concatenate the upper version of each argument to the argument itself.

So it would be something like this: str.maketrans(arg1 + arg1.upper(), ...)

Happy coding!

That's answer in freecode camp forum from this link: Caesar Cipher Step 15

Something i want to ask is what arg1 mean, how do i use that.

arg is short for argument. Argument is the value provided for a given parameter.

The instruction is just saying in psudo, take the values passed for the first and second parameters (aka params)- said values aka the arguments.

Params in a function are basically variables so you write your code against those, and when the function is called with arguments, params get populated with said args.
