Learn String Manipulation by Building a Cipher - Step 23

[brandonb55]

Hello everyone. Im learning python and have been stuck with this for about an hour now. Ive tried placing “index = alphabet.find (char)” in multiple different areas, ive tried changing "for char in text: " to "for char in alphabet: ". Nothing is working. Ive read previous forum posts, trying every single suggestion but to no avail. Id appreciate genuine help and not a suggestion from someone stating I dont know anything and should go back to the beginning. Honestly one of the most insane responses Ive ever read considering the website im on.

/* User Editable Region */

text = 'Hello World'
shift = 3
alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
  for char in text:  
 index = alphabet.find (char)
    print(char)

before anyone asks, yes I removed the spacing between find and (char). Ive tried everything to my knowledge.

@brandonb55

1)text = 'Hello World'
2)shift = 3
3)alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
4)  for char in text:                  
5)index = alphabet.find (char)      
6)print(char)

Indentations aren’t where they’re supposed to be:

1)Line 4 should be moved back and aligned with line 3

2)Line 5 and 6 should be indented so they fall under for char in text:

(the indentation means they belong to the for-loop statement of line 4.
In other words, they will be recognized as lines of code that will loop, if lines 5 and 6 are not indented, it won’t be recognized as part of the for-loop iteration process.)

try that

You were right. Thank you. Indentation slipped my mind
