String Cases

I'm getting really perturbed by how these grading scripts are working. I test this in IDLE and the Python shell will run it fine, and return the proper strings.

Sample output from the function:

string = 'giant apple' stringcases(string) ('giant apple', 'GIANT APPLE', 'giant apple', 'Giant Apple', 'elppa tnaig')

stringcases.py 
def stringcases(string):
    orig = string
    upper = orig.upper()
    lower = orig.lower()
    title = orig.title()
    reverse = orig[::-1]
    data = (orig, upper, lower, title, reverse)
    return data

Never mind, I did a dumb... I returned the original when it isn't requested.

u can just return return upper, lower, title, reverse in place of creating data.
