Great! Now let's use the reverse of assertTrue which is assertFalse. Fill out test_bad_palindrome with the assertFalse assertion, is_palindrome, and a bad palindrome.
someone help me please what am i missing
import unittest
from string_fun import is_palindrome
class PalindromeTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
def test_good_palindrome(self):
self.assertTrue(is_palindrome('tacocat'))
def is_palindrome(yarn):
"""Return whether or not a string is a palindrome.
A palindrome is a word/phrase that's the same in
both directions.
"""
return yarn == yarn[::-1]

class PalindromeTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
def test_good_palindrome(self):
# assertTrue will check if the passed parameter returns True
# In order to make it true, we have to pass a string that is a palindrome
self.assertTrue(is_palindrome("tacocat"));
def test_bad_palindrome(self):
# assertFalse will check if the passed parameter returns False
# In order to make it true, we have to pass a string that is not a palindrome
self.assertFalse(is_palindrome("notpalindrome"));
All the best with your learning! You got this!

When the coding challenge started, it provided some code that looked like this:
class PalindromeTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
def test_good_palindrome(self):
pass
def test_bad_palindrome(self):
pass
You have filled out the first method perfectly! The second method is what you still need to fill out. In the code you provided, you have the second method deleted. You should have them both.
In this second method, it looks like you'll be using assertFalse() instead of assertTrue(). The only difference between them is that assertFalse looks for the passed variable to be false instead of true, so you'll have to pass something other than "tacocat" to make it work!
