I know the upper and lower functions, but other than that I have no idea how to proceed.
Appreciate any answers with explanations.

229,783 PointsYou have the right idea about using the methods for case conversion, but they need to be attached to the name of a string variable to work. Here's a few general hints about constructing the function:
- when defining a function, the function name should be followed by parentheses
- if the function takes argument(s), their names should be inside those parentheses
- the "len" function might be useful for determining how many characters should be in each half
- you can use a slice to get the separate halves of the string
- you might create some temporary variables to hold parts of the string while working with them
- you can join string parts back together using concatenation (+)
Hope that helps, and remember you can always go back and review any videos if you need a refresher.
