Hi Marco,

def stringcases(single_string):
    return (single_string.upper(),
            single_string.lower(),
            single_string.title(),
            single_string[::-1])

The method returns a tuple with four items. First three use build in python functions and the last one is a nice sliced one :smile:

Does this help?
