Tell us what’s happening:

I’m not understanding what to put for code, like how do you combine ‘’ to encrypted_text?

Your code so far

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)

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)

Assign the current value of encrypted_text plus alphabet[new_index] to encrypted_text. This will prevent the previous value of encrypted_text from being lost.
