Question

what i want to do is take a string and for each character make the ordinal value 1 more from the value it has.

myinput=input("Message : ")

mylist =list(myinput) #convert to list in order to take each character

for character in mylist:
    mylist[character]+=ord(mylist[character])+1
print(character)

The problem is with the “ord(mylist[character])+1“

Thank you!

Three problems here. First, you’re mixing up list indices and list elements. Second, you didn’t convert back to a character (I’m assuming you want characters, not numbers). Third, you’re adding to the existing value.

One way:

for i range(len(mylist)):
    mylist[i] = chr(ord(mylist[i])+1)

Another way:

for i, character in enumerate(mylist):
    mylist[i] = chr(ord(character)+1)
