896 PointsError says "int() or // will be needed". I've tried both but still getting the error.
I've written this challenge about 10 different ways but keep getting the same error. I tried running it on a different rpl and it worked. Please advise.
def sillycase(string):
half_length = int(len(string) / 2)
string_left = string[:half_length]
string_right = string[half_length:]
sillycase_string = string_left.lower + string_right.upper
return sillycase_string

def sillycase(string):
half_length = int(len(string) / 2)
string_left = string[:half_length]
string_right = string[half_length:]
sillycase_string = string_left.lower() + string_right.upper()
return sillycase_string
Hope it helps!

19,363 PointsI'm not sure what is wrong then, whenever I try your code with the changes it passes the challenge?
Jennifer Sherwood
896 PointsWhat I mean is, that I don't understand what you're telling me to do in your first response, therefore I can't make the changes to pass the challenge.
I tried what I thought you meant and I got "can't find sillycase"

896 PointsI'm sorry, but I don't think I know what you mean. I thought I did but what I tried didn't work.
