Tell us what’s happening:

I get that I have to turn H into h and find it in alphabet, but I have no idea what goes into brackets after lower. Thanks in advance.

Your code so far


# User Editable Region

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