1,942 PointsBummer where's stringcases()?
Okay so I have this code here and I would like to know what I'm doing wrong
# Handy functions:
# .upper() - uppercases a string
# .lower() - lowercases a string
# .title() - titlecases a string
# There is no function to reverse a string.
# Maybe you can do it with a slice?
def stringcases(string):
string = "Fischer Fritz fischt frische fische"
a = string.upper()
b = string.lower()
c = string.title()
e = string[-1:-36:-1]
f = a, b, c, d, e
return f

21,073 PointsYou are returning a variable named "d" inside that tuple that doesn't exist. And there's no need to create the string inside the function, you are receiving it as a parameter You could do it without all the variables:
# Handy functions:
# .upper() - uppercases a string
# .lower() - lowercases a string
# .title() - titlecases a string
# There is no function to reverse a string.
# Maybe you can do it with a slice?
def stringcases(str_value):
return (str_value.upper(), str_value.lower(), str_value.title(), str_value[::-1])
I hope that helps a little bit

"""python
def stringcases(my_string): new_string = my_string.upper(), my_string.lower(), my_string.title(), my_string[::-1] return new_string
"""
Markdown is not wanting to format, so remember to not just copy and paste this code - format /indent where required.
