Tell us what’s happening:

Describe your issue in detail here.
I am tasked with comparing char with an empty space. I believe the code I have is correct, but an error continuously pops up. I have even tried copy and pasting the answer from step 38, but this did not work either. I appreciate any feedback.

Your code so far


/* User Editable Region */

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

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

/* User Editable Region */

Try resetting the step and pasting your 1 new print line in there

If I do that, it works, but if I copy/paste your whole code it doesn’t pass. Not sure the difference…

This worked! All I had to do was reset the step and it passed after typing the code in again. Thank you for the help!
