This code is nearly right. Take a closer look at the 3rd bullet point in the list. You should capitalize the first letter in every word in the string, so it should look something like this:

"This Is A Test"

However, the capitalize function only capitalizes the first letter in the whole string, like this:

"This is a test"

You're probably looking for the title function instead of capitalize
