Tell us what’s happening:

So, to me, I am doing everything right, and the spaces are showing, but it didnt let me pass, i don’t know what the problem could be.

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)

Did you read the hint the test is giving you? It’s very clear.

You should replace print(char == ' ') with an if statement that triggers when char == ' '.

You have not done this.

Please let us know if you have any questions about it?
