Describe your issue in detail here.

Your code so far


# User Editable Region

alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
encrypted_text = ''

for char in text.lower():
    if char == ('')
    print char
    index = alphabet.find(char)

If you print char then you are not printing the result of char == ' ', right?

Also, make sure its a ’ ’ space
Not an empty string ‘’

Hi @king_okuoma,
Great work.

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

So put a new line after the for line. You are required to do a print(). (Don’t forget the indentation. This print must also follow suit)
What you put inside print bracket is the comparison you are doing. See below:

char = ' '

There is a space between the single quotation marks.

Let me know if this gets you unstuck.
:+1: Happy coding.
