Step 43

Now, instead of printing 'space!', use the addition assignment operator to add the space (currently stored in char) to the current value of encrypted_text.

Im just not sure if im understanding if someone could please help.

Your code so far


# User Editable Region

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

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