what changes if you use enumerate func in the for loop instead of index method? do you understand what you optimize if you use enumerate in the for loop?

new_position = position + user_shift

if new_position >= len(alphabet):
restart = new_position - len(alphabet)
cipher = alphabet[restart]

else:
cipher = alphabet[new_position]

print(cipher)
