Learn String Manipulation by Building a Cipher - Step 37

Python
1 
text = 'Hello World'
shift = 3
alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
encrypted_text = ''

for char in text.lower():
    print(char == ' ')

    new_index = (index + shift) 
    encrypted_text += alphabet[new_index] 
    print('char:', char, 'encrypted text:', encrypted_text)

and it keeps saying that i need to You should replace new_char with encrypted_text inside your for loop. And i did and its still not working Can sombody please provide the correct code because i have been stuck on this for days

No, that is not allowed on the forum.

Welcome to the forum @Helllo19371

Why are you printing a comparison between char and a single space?

You also modified the code by placing parentheses around index + shift. Your code is also concatenating alphabet[new_index] to encrypted_text instead of assigning the value.

Please reset the step to restore the seed code.
Only modify the code you are asked to modify.

Happy coding
