Tell us what’s happening:

Not sure what is meant by adding a new variable to the for loop

Your code so far


# User Editable Region

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

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

At the end of your loop body, declare a variable called new_index and assign the value of index + shift to this variable.

You’ve done this successfully here:

new_index=(index + shift)

Although those parentheses are unnecessary and should be removed.

You also added other things that the instructions do not ask for. You could remove those or reset the step.
