Tell us what’s happening:

how to do this i am unable to understand the meaning of it

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)

Welcome to the forum @brothersreddy2009

Here is a comparison of the original code and your code.

The code in blue is the original code, the code in red is your code.
The code in magenta is the overlap.

You added a extra space to the for statement.

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

For this challenge you are asked to include a print statement, to the body of the for loop.

Each line in the console will display either True or False for each character in the string. True for a space, False otherwise.

Happy coding
