Tell us what’s happening:

Tried to run this code, didn’t work out. Any suggestion as to what I may be missing?

Your code so far


# User Editable Region

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

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

Welcome to our community!

After quotes put a colon. You don’t need the = True at all.

Thank you taking the time to reply to my help post, I greatly appreciate that. However, it seems that doesn’t crack it as well, I will keep attempting though!

Ah, there is also no space between the quotes :+1:

'' #empty string
' ' #space character
