Hi there, welcome to the community! :blush:

Your code is missing an important step from the lesson:

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

Right now, you haven’t created new_index properly. It needs to be declared at the end of your loop body, along with its value.

Give it a try and let me know if you need any help!
