Tell us what’s happening:

You are going to use the .find() method to find the position in the alphabet of each letter in your message. A method is similar to a function, but it belongs to an object.

Example Code
sentence = ‘My brain hurts!’
sentence.find(‘r’)
Above, the .find() method is called on sentence (the string to search in), and ‘r’ (the character to locate) is passed as the argument. The sentence.find(‘r’) call will return 4, which is the index of the first occurrence of ‘r’ in sentence.

At the end of your cod

Your code so far


# User Editable Region

text = 'Hello World
sentences.find(alphabet'z')

Hi,
you should use the find method on alphabet. You have a variable called alphabet and it contains the English alphabet. the variable sentences is given to you as an example so it should not be used. Reset the step to get back your code and try again.
Good luck!
