Tell us what’s happening:

can somebody explain to me why does the output for encrypted text is producing such an output? the line no.9 code mentioning we are adding the empty string from the value outside the for loop, why it becomes like that? can anybody explain in simpler manner? trying to understand more. Thanks

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)
