Not sure how to answer this one it is getting rejected, but it does work on the command line and in IDE???
def sillycase(string): string = string.upper() print string[:len(string) / 2].lower() + string[len(string) /2:]
sillycase('SILLYcase')
# The first half of the string, rounded with round(), should be lowercased.
# The second half should be uppercased.
# E.g. "Treehouse" should come back as "treeHOUSE"
def sillycase(string):
return string[:len(string) / 2].lower() + string[len(string) /2:]

len(string)/2.
Try rounding it to and integer with
round(len(string)/2).
You'll also need to make sure you convert the second half of the string to uppercase. After you do both of those it should work.

Courses Plus Student 12,817 PointsGreat thanks.... Makes sense about rounding. Also the silly.py file window doesn't have the code with uppercase....but the one I was actually using to test did.(the plain text above silly.py). Just forgot to paste back in
