Tell us what’s happening:

I couldn’t understand the question please help me!

Your code so far


# User Editable Region

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

for char in text.lower():
    if char == ' ':
        print(" " + encrypted_text)
    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 instructions or error message is confusing. Thanks

Welcome to the forum @inesandrade15

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.

You should use the += operator to add char to the current value of encrypted_text inside your new if statement.

Your code has a print call ✗
You are not using the += operator ✗
You are not referencing char ✗

Happy coding
