I need help, this one is blowing my mind, already tried several way but still stuck

MY code so far


/* User Editable Region */

text = 'Hello World'
shift = 3
alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
index = alphabet.find(text[0].lower())
shifted = 
print(index)

/* User Editable Region */

Here you need to access the value of alphabet at the index index + shift. To access the value of a variable at a specific index you need to write the variable name and and specify the index inside square brackets.

The question is: Declare a variable named shifted and assign it the alphabet letter at index plus shift

SOLUTION

# first declare a variable call “shifted” just like you have done

# use the assignment operator “=” to assign it a value.

# now you need to figure out the value. the letter we are looking for is in the position of “index + shift” in the alphabet variable.

# access that position with the use of square bracket “[ ]” remember it is in the alphabet variable that you will be looking for this letter.

Please if you find it difficult finding the solution from here kindly reach out, as we will be ready to be of assistance.

You are very close to being right here all you need to do is apply

# access that position with the use of square bracket “[ ]” remember it is in the alphabet variable that you will be looking for this letter.

It is great that you solved the challenge, but instead of posting your full working solution, it is best to stay focused on answering the poster’s question(s) and help guide them with hints and suggestions to solve their own issues with the challenge.

We are trying to cut back on the number of spoiler solutions found on the forum and instead focus on helping other campers with their questions and definitely not posting full working solutions.
