Tell us what’s happening:

either i´m interpreting wrong the assignment or i do not know how i am screwing up

Your code so far


# User Editable Region

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

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

Please talk to us about how the error message or instructions are confusing.

use the addition assignment operator to add the space (currently stored in char) to the current value of encrypted_text

It doesn’t look like you are using the addition assignment operator.

english is not mt 1°language, so i may be interpreting wrong. Inspite of that, i´ve tried every combination of += in the encrypted_text line.
i´ve been stuck for two days trying to understand my error

You should only change the line I highlighted, no other line.
