Learn String Manipulation by Building a Cipher - Step 13

Python
1

Hi all! I am BRAND NEW to this. No experience whatsoever, so sorry if this is a dumb question or I am nowhere near the correct answer. I guess my question is what am I doing wrong here? Also is there a link to maybe like a coding dictionary so that I can refer back to exactly what they mean by “variable” or “value” etc. I know this is probably really elementary and don’t want to bother everyone with posts on this forum every time I don’t get something right away. Any help is appreciated!

Welcome to the forum @502Franky

Your code:

  1. assign the index variable to the find method on the string.
    A variable is a word that references something.
    For example the alphabet variable references a string.

The instructions for the second part of the step:

  1. the print call uses a method to return a lower case letter.

Happy coding
