Can anyone help me with this code :

alphabet = ‘abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz’

shift = 5

shifted_alphabet = alphabet[shift:]

print(shifted_alphabet)

shifted_alphabet = alphabet[shift:]+alphabet[:shift]

print(shifted_alphabet)

and the actual output i’m getting is :

fghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

fghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcde

The code i entered is actually working and giving the desired output for step-4 but i don’t know why it’s failing over and over

Welcome to the forum @ravimvgr

You are asked to modify the existing code, not to create new lines of code.

Happy coding
