Tell us what’s happening:

Is my code wrong?

Your code so far

/* User Editable Region */

text = 'Hello World'
shift = 3
alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
encrypted_text = ''
if char == ' ':
   print('space!')

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 */

that’s not at the top of the loop

[aaronvincent6411]

@bbbbb

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

put above lines inside for loop by replacing below line

@bbbbb

print(char == ' ')

“At the top of the loop” means, within the loop, but the first thing in the loop (After the for statement)

Hello Mohamed, welcome to the forum!

You will have to remove the round brackets in the if statement, in phyton you don’t need them.

Also if you have any further questions I would recommend making your own topic by using the help button under the step so we can all help you better.
