Could someone help me with this if statement, I don’t know how to use it

Your code so far

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

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

Which line is printing the required string?

You’ve used if correctly, although you can use some space around the =

Always surround these binary operators with a single space on either side: assignment (=), augmented assignment (+=, -= etc.), comparisons (==, <, >, !=, <>, <=, >=, in, not in, is, is not), Booleans (and, or, not).
