# Coding Quiz - Caesar Cipher
In this coding quiz, you will write a function to apply the `Caesar cipher` to a given string.
The Caesar cipher is a method of encrypting text by shifting each letter a specific number of places down the alphabet. For example, shifting 'a' by 3 results in 'd', and shifting 'z' by 2 results in 'b'.
The user provides a `string` and an `integer 'shift' value`, and you are to replace each letter in the string with a letter that's 'shift' positions later in the alphabet to return a new string.
For instance, if the 'shift' is 3 and the input string is "abc", the output string should be "def".
<br />
```python title="Write the code"
def solution(text, shift):
# Write your code here
return
Constraints
-
The input string consists of only English letters, and it is case-sensitive.
-
Spaces, special characters, and numbers are not transformed.
-
The 'shift' value is an integer.
Example Input/Output
-
Input: string
"abc", 'shift'3 -
Output:
"def"
-
Input: string
"XYZ", 'shift'2 -
Output:
"ZAB"
