def sillycase(string): first_half = int(len(string) / 2 - 1) #get index of first half second_half = int(len(string) - 1) #get index of second half
new_string = string[:first_half].lower() + string[:second_half].upper() #combine the two into a single string
return new_string
def sillycase(string):
first_half = int(len(string) / 2 - 1) #get index of first half
second_half = int(len(string) - 1) #get index of second half
new_string = string[:first_half].lower() + string[:second_half].upper() #combine the two into a single string
return new_string

first_half = int(len(string) / 2) #<-- corrected math
new_string = string[:first_half].lower() + string[first_half:].upper() # <-- used same value for both slices
