Tell us what’s happening:

Describe your issue in detail here.
I’m not quite understanding what I am being told to do here.

Your code so far

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

# User Editable Region

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

# User Editable Region

Learning to describe problems is hard, but it is an important part of learning how to code.
Also, the more you say, the more we can help!

I suggest you to reset the code for this step. You are not supposed to change the existing lines of code: you changed char into index and removed the indentation.

The index variable must be declared inside the loop body:
alphabet.find(char) references char, which must be already declared, otherwise it’ll throw an error.
