This code works in my interpreter just fine. Why is the automated correcter rejecting it?

I assume I have to go about doing this another way. I think I'm doing something not quite right. Maybe using a different function or method? Anyway, the automated correcter doesn't like the way I went about getting the answer. Thanks in advance!

          <p>This is code!</p>

def sillycase(werd):

    length=len(werd)
    half= length // 2

    word1=slice(werd)
    word2=slice(werd)


    word1=werd[:half]
    word2=werd[half:]

    word1="".join(word1).lower()
    word2="".join(word2).upper()

    retword=word1 + word2

    return retword

a=input("Enter a word  ")
b=sillycase(a)
print(b)

Just out of curiosity, are you putting all of that code into the challenge, or just the function? The checker probably wouldn't like the last three lines of actual code that you're using to test it in the workspace.
