Tell us what’s happening:

Describe your issue in detail here.
I don’t understand how to assign the value returned by alphabet.find(char) to index.

Your code so far

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

# User Editable Region

for char in text:
    index = 82
    print(char)
    #I added up the value of alphabet.find(char) and got 82. What did I do wrong?

# User Editable Region

Welcome to the forum @5452644636

Here are the instructions:

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.

This challenge wants you to code a variable using the .find method.

Inside the for loop, declare the new variable and assign it the expression mentioned in the instructions.

Happy coding

here you are assigning a value to index, do the same but put your expression instead of 82
