the code I write in workspaces gives the correct output in the console

when I copy and past the code into the challenges it says...... "did not get correct output from the function name that I am working on. the output comes out fine in workspaces.

sillycase.py 
def sillycase(arg1):
    arg_num = int(len(arg1)/2)
    new_arg = arg1[:arg_num] + arg1[arg_num:].upper()
    return new_arg

Your code uppercases the second part of the string but it does not lowercase the first part of the string. If you add the lower method to your code like this:

def sillycase(arg1):
    arg_num = int(len(arg1)/2)
    new_arg = arg1[:arg_num].lower() + arg1[arg_num:].upper() # Added .lower()
    return new_arg

Then the code will work.
