encrypted_text = ''

for char in text.lower():

      encrypted_text += char
    else:
      index = alphabet.find(char)

Hello! I have another question about this step, not the correct code, but the explanation for As you can see in your output, when the loop iterations reach the space, a space is added to the encrypted string. Then the code outside the if block executes and a c is added to the encrypted string."

Why “c” is added here? I don’t understand. Can you help me?
