Bummer! Got the wrong string(s) for: Uppercase, Lowercase

I do not understand why my codes got the bummer. My IDE test to the function is perfect def stringcases(myString): tup = (myString.lower(), myString.upper(),myString.title(), myString[::-1]) return tup

tt = "deLT1 3oUU" print(stringcases(tt))

('delt1 3ouu', 'DELT1 3OUU', 'Delt1 3Ouu', 'UUo3 1TLed')

stringcases.py 
def stringcases(myString):
    tup = (myString.lower(), myString.upper(),myString.title(),  myString[::-1])
    return tup

The instructions specify the first string should be uppercased and the second lowercased. You do the opposite.

If you simply switch the first two strings like this:

def stringcases(myString):
    tup = (myString.upper(), myString.lower(),myString.title(),  myString[::-1]) # lower changed to upper and vice versa
    return tup

Then your code will work.
