Tell us what’s happening:
I’ve added an if statement at the beginning of my for loop to check if the character char is a space (if char == ’ ':). Inside this if block, I have the line print(‘space’) (indented). However, the system is still giving me the error: ‘You should print the string ‘space’ inside your new if statement.’ My code looks correct based on the instructions for Step 41.
Your code so far
# User Editable Region
text = 'Hello World'
shift = 3
alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
encrypted_text = ''
for char in text.lower():
if char == ' ':
print('space')
index = alphabet.find(char)
new_index = index + shift
encrypted_text += alphabet[new_index]
print('char:', char, 'encrypted text:', encrypted_text)
