Please help me, I can’t find the solution to this problem.

Your code so far

alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
text = 'Hello World'

@peghuembamfon

char = text[0].lower()
position = alphabet.find(char)
print("The first character of the text '{}' is located at position {} in the alphabet string.".format(char, position))

Don’t add code that is not required. Please, try to stick with the instructions otherwise you won’t pass the tests.

You need to call .find() on alphabet and pass text[0] to the find method. You are supposed to do it in a single line.

Welcome to the forum @peghuembamfon

@peghuembamfon

print("The first character of the text '{}' is located at position {} in the alphabet string.".format(char, position))

The instructions:

Call the find method on the alphabet variable, then pass the text[0].
They did not specify to print anything.

Happy coding
