i hv to transform a string into its lowercase equivalent with the .lower() method. Add another print() call to print text.lower() and see the output.

but i dnt really get it

4

plsss someone help, im really stuck

5

You need to add a single line of code, which is a print() call. And you need to pass text.lower() to that print() call. Reset the code and try again.

its not workingg
cud u like explain further

7

Show me the updated code.

8 
text = 'Hello World'
shift = 3
alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
index = alphabet.find(text[0])
print(text.lower)
print(index)
9

You need to call .lower():

10

like .lower(print)

im stupid so i dnt get it wdym by call

11

I mean that parentheses have a precise meaning and if you don’t write them after the function you want to call (in your case the lower() function) you are not doing anything.

If the instructions say you need to print text.lower(), why do you try to print text.lower?
