I simply do not get this question: To look up the documentation about the str class's upper method, what help can I use?

Hi Wendy,

String, integers, float, list, set, dictionaries are classes in python...

If you want your python shell to show the help for one of those you call the help() method on that class: help(str)

Strings (str) have several methods you can use to perform different actions. One of those method is the upper() method.

To show the help of upper() of the str class: help(str.upper)

Type print(dir(str)) to see all available methods of the str class
