My code does what I want but am still receiving "Got the wrong output for string(s):"

The output should be all upper, all lower, titlecased and reversed

stringcases.py 
def stringcases(value):
    title_cased = value[0].upper() + value[1:].lower()
    the_tuple = value.upper(), value.lower(), title_cased, value[:0:-1] + value[0]
    return the_tuple

Your title-cased output needs to uppercase the first letter of each word in the string, not just the first character in the whole string. There's actually a string method called title() which does exactly this, which will be useful here.
