Tell us what’s happening: Error while changing variables

Describe your issue in detail here.

As requested i replaced new_char with encrypted_text . I changed new_char with `encrypted_text in the print as well , but it still give me error and i don’t understand why

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
    encrypted_text = alphabet[new_index]
    print('char:', char, 'new char:', encrypted_text)

also change this to encrypted text:

You should turn your print() call into print('char:', char, 'encrypted text:', encrypted_text) .
