Tell us what’s happening:

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 .

Your code so far

text = ‘Hello World’
shift = 3
alphabet = ‘abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz’
encrypted_text = ‘’

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

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

for char in text.lower():
    print(char == ' ')  # Print the result of comparing char with a space
    if char == ' ':
        encrypted_text += ' '
    else:
        index = alphabet.find(char)
        new_index = (index + shift) % len(alphabet)
        encrypted_text += alphabet[new_index]
    print('char:', char, 'encrypted text:', encrypted_text)
