Tell us what’s happening:

I am doing what the exercise asks me to, i don’t know what i’m doing wrong. I need some help

Now, replace new_char with encrypted_text. Also, modify the print() call into print('char:', char, 'encrypted text:', encrypted_text) to reflect this change.

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, 'encrypted_text:',encrypted_text)

You have a spacing issue in your print call. Please copy/paste directly from the instructions to avoid this type of issue going forward.
