Describe your issue in detail here.

Your code so far

/* User Editable Region */

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

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

if <char == ' '>:
    print(space!)

your code have two problems .
first remove <> as it is not required.
Second your indentation of your print() is not right. happy coding.

what should i do now

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

for char in text.lower():
    if char== ' ':
        encrypted_text+=''
        print('space!')

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

@gjangir500

for char in text.lower():
if char== ’ ‘:
encrypted_text+=’’
print(‘space!’)

you have missed two level of indentation.
first after the for loop
second after the if statement.

Please pay attention! If statement!

1. Remove the <> character
   char==’ ’
2. and add space after if and add string symbol ‘’ for space!
   if char==’ ':
   print(‘space!’)

I’ve edited your code for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').
