String case Code Challenge

What is wrong with my code, it keeps telling me it got the wrong output.

stringcases.py 
# Handy functions:
# .upper() - uppercases a string
# .lower() - lowercases a string
# .title() - titlecases a string
# There is no function to reverse a string.
# Maybe you can do it with a slice?
def stringcases(hello):
  sting='hello'
  case=(sting.upper(),sting.lower(),sting.title(),sting[::-1])
  (a,b,c,d)=case

  return (a,b,c,d)

Hi Hubert,

The question asks you to create a function that takes any string. Your code will only return the correct answer for the word 'hello', regardless of what is entered into the function.

def stringcases(sting):
    case=(sting.upper(),sting.lower(),sting.title(),sting[::-1])

    return case

def stringcases(s):
    a,b,c,d = s.upper(), s.lower(), s.title(), s[::-1]
    return(a,b,c,d)
