Hi

Here you need to work on the shifted_alphabet variable.

shifted_alphabet = alphabet[shift:]

It says you need to tack the removed part onto the end of the string using concatenation. The example shows you how to do this.

At present you can see that it displays the letters from f to the end by using [shift:]. (You have defined shift you mean position 5).

You use the same syntax to extract the first 5 letters. The example has [start:stop] - start and stop signify the positions in the alphabet string.

3 
alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
shift = 5
shifted_alphabet = alphabet[shift:]
print(shifted_alphabet)

# Add the first 5 missing characters
sentence = alphabet[0:shift]
print(sentence) # abcde
full_sentence = shifted_alphabet + sentence
print(full_sentence)

Hey there, look what I’ve done.

  • I created a new variable to store the previously removed parts.
  • Then I created another variable full_sentence to add the missing part at the back of my alphabet.

This is correct, I think, but my submission doesn’t pass.
