Tell us what’s happening:

I do not know how to do this question. Please help me

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)

Hi there, welcome to fcc community.

Here are some example about comparing 2 objects:

Example 0:

2 > 1

will check if 2 is greater than 1. The returned value is: True

Example 1:

2 >= 1

will check if 2 is greater than or equal to 1. The returned value is: True

Example 2:

2 <= 1

will check if 2 is less than or equal to 1. The returned value is: False

Example 3:

"a" == "b"

will check if "a" is equal to "b". The returned value is: False.

Now, the instruction asked us to:

At the beginning of your loop body, print the result of comparing char
with a space (' '). Use the equality operator == for that.

That means:

At the beginning of the for loop body, we will check if char is equal to a space (' '), then print the returned result to see if it is True or False

Hello there. So after I put
print('char' == ' ')
the outcome is False. I submitted it but it doesn’t let me pass. Do you know why?
