Welcome back to the forum @moboy2000

  1. You should replace print(char == ' ') with an if statement that triggers when char == ' '. Do not use parentheses to enclose the if condition and remember to include the final colon.

Part 1: The if statement is not an empty space.

Part 2: if true print space!

Happy coding
