I don’t know. What is your current code? Do you get an error message when you run that code?
text = 'Hello World'
shift = 3
alphabet = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
alphabet.find(text[0])
when you run the tests, what happens?
hey there @brnhaze

I absolutely understand OP @AliRR frustration.
The 11 steps before this explain whats required, this step feels a like I’ve skipped a chapter. What does “pass text[0] to the function.” mean? This has not been covered. We have not “passed” anything to a function prior to this, at least we’ve not been told this is what we’ve done. This question feel like it was built on an assumption you’ve done something like this before.
I hadnt the foggiest what I was supposed to do. I figured it out in the end by just randomly trying stuff. And Im not sure what it is Ive done which isnt exactly conducive to learning. Its also not a great way to keep engagement so early in a course @ILM
