Tell us what’s happening:

I don’t know how to pass this step. I wrote this much

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:
        index = alphabet.find(char)
        new_index = index + shift
        encrypted_text += alphabet[new_index]
        print('char:', char, 'encrypted text:', encrypted_text)

Welcome to the forum @ikaryus

For step 40 the instructions do no ask you to create if and else statements.

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

Please reset the step to restore the seed code and try again.

Happy coding
