Not sure if this is the right approach. I checked everything and it makes sense.
def sillycase(word):
middle=len(word)//2
lowerHalf=word[:middle].lower()
upperHalf=word[middle:].upper()
newWord=lowerHalf+upperHalf
return newWord

def sillycase(word):
middle=len(word)//2
lowerHalf = word[:middle].lower()
upperHalf = word[middle:].upper()
newWord = lowerHalf+upperHalf
return newWord
