Please see my string cases code and help me understand why the challenge is saying it is the wrong output. It is supposed to return a tuple.
# Handy functions:
# .upper() - uppercases a string
# .lower() - lowercases a string
# .title() - titlecases a string
# There is no function to reverse a string.
# Maybe you can do it with a slice?
my_string = "I am what I am"
def stringcases(my_string):
a = my_string.upper()
b = my_string.lower()
c = my_string.title()
my_list = my_string.split()
my_list_reverse = my_list[len(my_string)::-1]
d = " ".join(my_list_reverse)
e = (a, b, c, d)
return e
stringcases(my_string)
