Tell us what’s happening:

Where am i wrong ? i have used the print function at the start of the loop comparing the char value with the empty space or encrypted_text. And i got the required output that says ‘False’ and yet the code still doesnt seem right when im clicking submit.

Your code so far


# User Editable Region

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

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

What error message are you getting? It can often help to look carefully at the exact wording of the error message.

3

can you show how you compare the character to an empty space? here you are comparing to encrypted_text, which is not an empty space
