This is the code I wrote, but when it prints the message at the end, it prints the original input as if it had not gone through the string function. What's the problem?
message=str(raw_input("Enter the encoded string: ")) message=message.lower() def strip(string): stripped_message="" for i in range(0,len(string)): character=ord(string[i:i+1]) if character in range(97,123): stripped_message+=chr(character) return stripped_message strip(message) print message
