I see two issues: you have the line twice, you should have index initialization on the first line, and second, you deleted shift

4

so should i start again on step 13 instead

5

You should reset this step. You need to redo step 13 only if you did not understand step 13

6

Ok, thank you for helping me, that was the problem. But i didn’t see any output on the console. Is that what was suppose to happen?

7

you need to have the variable text and the call to print to see an output

8

Also why does index need to go above ‘alphabet’

9

it doesn’t need to go above alphabet, as you need alphabet to initialize index
so you first initialize text and alphabet and after you can initialize index

10

Makes sense, thanks for helping.
