Tell us what’s happening:

What is wrong here?

Your code so far


/* User Editable Region */

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

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

/* User Editable Region */

What has you confused? Please talk to us about how you are stuck in your own words

3

Here is what I have to do:
Now, replace new_char with encrypted_text . Also, modify the print() call to reflect this change.

My code doesn’t pass. Why? I’ve replaced new char with encrypted_text.

4

I can read the instructions. I can’t read your mind to know your confusion.

The word ‘new_char’ here is what you are intended to replace

5

This is the suggestion made : You should replace new_char with encrypted_text .

If you see I’ve changed new__char with encrypted_text but the code doesn’t pass, why?

6

No, you didn’t replace ‘new_char’. It’s still there
