2,669 Pointshello, any ideas if the below code is not accepted as a correct answer? it seems to work as requested in "workspaces".
def sillycase(string): l = len(string) p=0 for i in string: if p < int(l/2): string[p] = string[p].lower() p +=1 else: string[p] = string[p].upper() p +=1 string = "".join(string) return string
def sillycase(string):
l = len(string)
p=0
for i in string:
if p < int(l/2):
string[p] = string[p].lower()
p +=1
else:
string[p] = string[p].upper()
p +=1
string = "".join(string)
return string

Are you perhaps missing a line of code that converted the string into a list?

2,669 Pointsyou are absolutely right.... i have the following code in workspaces. i think i add it to the function, it should work :)
many thanks!!!! it was very frustrating.
str = input ("what is your string? ")
string=list(str)
p= sillycase(string)
print(p)
