Hi Prashant Gaykar so your code seems to work fine, your output is:

('LOREM IPSUM DOLOR SIT AMET.', 'lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.', 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.', '.tema tis rolod muspi meroL')

I tried titlecase = data_str.title() and it worked

Also, I will ask you to try and rethink your code and see if you can make it shorter. For the reverse part use the slice method on a string.

string[::-1]

Slicing with a step

Thanks, Istvan Nonn for 'string[::-1] ' suggestion and code worked after using title() instead of capitalize().

Yeah, capitalize() didn't work for me.
