Tell us what’s happening:

You should compare char with a space using the equality operator inside your for loop.

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)
    char == " ":

why do you have a colon in there?

also you need to follow all the instructions

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

You are missing “at the beginning of your loop body” and “print”
