New to coding please help out!!!I basically cant understand this

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)

Hi there and welcome to our community!

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

You should use a print() command. Inside the parentheses you should put an expression which compares char with ' ', using ==.

When the print command executes it will evaluate the expression and print the result (i.e. True or False).

EXAMPLE:

print(1 == 1) 
# prints True

print(1 == 2)
# prints False
