Ok, whats wrong with this code?

Again, works fine in the python shell, does what the objective is asking, and still tells me its wrong.

sillycase.py 
def sillycase(string1):
    half_string = (len(string1) // 2)
    sillycased = string1[:half_string] + string1[half_string:].upper()
    return sillycased

You're really close — it looks like you just forgot to lowercase the first half.

Ahhh, ok. Thought that was implicit, but i guess the person entering the string could have all-cap'd the string. Thank you.
