Tell us what’s happening:

I am stuck on step 26, i have tried assigning the new variable named index at the beginning of the for loop but my code does not pass. see code below:

for char in text:
index =  alphabet.find(char)
print(char)

Your code so far

text = 'Hello World'
shift = 3

# User Editable Region

alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
for char in text:
index = alphabet.find(char)   
print(char)

# User Editable Region

Why did you remove the indentation here?

When you see a traceback in the terminal try to understand what it means. In your case:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “main.py”, line 8
index = alphabet.find(char)
^^^^^
IndentationError: expected an indented block after ‘for’ statement on line 7

is a clear indication that the indentation is not correct on line 7

#This worked for me :slight_smile:
