Tell us what’s happening:

I can’t seem to be able to create a bracket notation

Your code so far


/* User Editable Region */

text = 'Hello World'
p = text[0]



/* User Editable Region */

shift = 3
alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'

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

Hello Ayam,

You did create a bracket notation. text[0], as you wrote, is the bracket notation to access the first character in text. But the question asks you to (try) and change this letter into a different character. I wants you to assign the bracket notation to any character of your choosing.

4

Still not able to solve it

5

What did you try changing text[0] to?

6

I only changed the number in the bracket to 4

7

access the first letter in text

You had this part correct before.

try to change it into a character of your choice.

Try to assign it to a different letter.

p = text[0]

This was a good attempt, but it’s backwards. You assign the first letter of text to the variable p
