What data type is @protein? I think you're looking for a different way to reassign @protein here.

@protein is an object/instance variable.

Try re-doing this exercise using iteration.

OK, thanks. I'm going to try and finish up where I'm at in the ruby exercises then give this another go.

So I have a question about this if/when you have time. I know there are usually multiple ways to solve problems but programmers typically settle on one. In situations like these are you saying it's ok to use code already written by others so long as I leave a comment saying so? Sorry I feel like this is a tricky area as I'm sure programmers use code that's already written regularly. If not, I'm sure they use code written by others as inspiration for their own. Is what you stated above your best advice for how to handle situations like these going forward?

When there are assumptions around numbers, like y > x, using variable names like max and min are extremely helpful.

I understand and appreciate the feedback.
| 2. First, I defined a method called encrypt for my CaesarCipher class. Then I converted | ||
| the string to an array of characters using `.chars`. Secondly, you can use `.map` | ||
| to iterate through the array and find the ASCII characters using `.ord`. I now needed to | ||
| shift. To do this, I used `.map` to iterate through the ASCII character codes | ||
| and then added our "shift value", which I called "key". Next, using `.join` | ||
| I was able to convert and join our new characters in the shifted array into | ||
| a new string of characters correlated to ASCII code. I got close to the end by defining | ||
| and instantiating a new object called "cipher" using the `.new` method. Lastly, | ||
| I printed the encrypted message and designated that message with they argument | ||
| and key(or value to be shifted). |

Good work explaining the code in your CaesarCipher.
Here is my prework.
