Tell us what’s happening:

I have inserted the print call to compare ‘char’ with a space, and I’m stuck

Your code so far


# User Editable Region

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

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

Welcome to the forum @jjanss7811

The comparison in your code is between a string and white space, not the iterator.

Happy coding
