Describe your issue in detail here.
ive been on a break but im finally back to learning to code and now im stuck for thousand time lol but im having trouble figuring out the else statement

Your code so far


/* User Editable Region */

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

for char in text.lower():
    if char == ' ':
        encrypted_text += char
        else char == " ":
            ecrypted_text += char
    index = alphabet.find(char)
    new_index = index + shift
    encrypted_text += alphabet[new_index]
    print('char:', char, 'encrypted text:', encrypted_text)

Hi @simitsu
the else clause should be indented the same way the if is so just move it to the left.
Second problem is you didnt need to add char == ’ ’ and encrypted_text += char a second time so delete them and then indent everything below from else
