Learn String Manipulation by Building a Cipher - Step 40

Tell us what’s happening:

text = ‘Hello World’
shift = 3
alphabet = ‘abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz’
encrypted_text = ‘’

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

This is my question and it gave me a really though time before I could solve it.

Now all you have to do at the stage is compare char to the space in between this (‘-’) and then print

Your code so far

text = 'Hello World'
shift = 3
alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
encrypted_text = ''

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

Hi there and welcome to our community!

You should be putting that comparison statement inside the print call. Also, you don’t need the parentheses around the quote marks.
