Learn String Manipulation by Building a Cipher - Step 16

Python

i dont understand the provided instructions. Please Help.

the instructions : " Step 16

As you can see from the output, "h" is at index 7 in the alphabet string. Now you need to find the letter at index 7 plus the value of shift. For that, you can use the addition operator, +, in the same way you would use it for a mathematical addition.

Declare a variable named shifted and assign it the alphabet letter at index plus shift. "

Below is my code so far:
text = ‘Hello World’

shift = 3

alphabet = ‘abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz’

index = alphabet.find(text[7].lower())

print(index)


/* User Editable Region */

text = 'Hello World'
shift = 3
alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
index = alphabet.find(text[7].lower())
print(index)

/* User Editable Region */

hello! @Ahukko

We have to find for the text with index position at 0 like… text[0].

our challenge is to find where the letter ‘H’ from variable text appears in the variable alphabet, its location in the var alphabet. that index is 7.

since H from Hello World is in uppercase we use the lower() function to match with the alphabet variable.

Good luck!
