Tell us what’s happening:

what might be the output of this? : Inside the for loop, before printing the current character, declare a variable called index and assign the value returned by alphabet.find(char) to this variable.

Your code so far

text = 'Hello World'
shift = 3

# User Editable Region

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

# User Editable Region

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

This is your initial code. You still need to change the order of your last lines co complete this step, print(char) should be at the end

You’re welcome!
Also, when you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').
