Tell us what’s happening:

Step 48
I am unable to pass this, it shows print should be placed after loop
Tried multiple times, what is wrong here?
text = ‘Hello Zaira’
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) % len(alphabet)
encrypted_text += alphabet[new_index]
print(‘plain text:’,text)

Your code so far


# User Editable Region

text = 'Hello Zaira'
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) % len(alphabet)
        encrypted_text += alphabet[new_index]
        print('plain text:',text)

Right before the print call, add another one and pass 'plain text:', text as the arguments to print()

You should not delete the existing print call.

Also, your print is inside the loop while it should be after the loop.
