Stringcases (Tuples)

Maybe I just didn't understand the task, but why this isn't working? In my workspaces it works..

stringcases.py 
from titlecase import titlecase

def stringcases(string):
    print(tuple(str(string).lower()))
    print(tuple(str(string).upper()))
    print(tuple(titlecase(string)))
    print(tuple(reversed(string)))

Hey, Jim, titlecase isn't a module that needs to be imported, it is a method of strings. So just like .upper and .lower, .titlecase can be placed at the end of a string.

For example:

string.titlecase

Also the answers aren't supposed to be printed as individual tuples, they should be returned as a single tuple.

a = string.lower()
b = string.upper()
return a, b # This returns the tuple (a, b)

Hope this helps.
