Tell us what’s happening:

how to solve it:

At the end of your loop body, declare a variable called new_index and assign the value of index + shift to this variable.

Your code so far


/* User Editable Region */

text = 'Hello World'
shift = 3
alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'

for char in text.lower():
    index = alphabet.find(char)
    new_index = (alphabet.find(index+ shift))
    print(char, index)
    

/* User Editable Region */

You should say
new_index = index + shift not new_index = (alphabet.find(index+ shift))
