Tell us what’s happening:

Describe your issue in detail here.
This is my code. It seems okay but it doesn’t run, syntax issue perhaps?

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