Tell us what’s happening:

I am using a space (’ ') but it tells me that I should do it inside the for loop.

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)

# User Editable Region

It’s inside the loop but it’s not quite correct…

comparing char with a space (' ')

Maybe the brackets here are misleading, but you don’t need brackets. This is a sapce:

' '

not this:

(' ')
