Python Python Basics (2015) Python for Beginners Second Quiz

To look up the documentation about the str class's upper method, I'd use help(str.uppermethod). why is this wrong?

why is this code wrong? when looking up up documentation concerning the str class's center, kevin used the code: help(str.centre) so why is the code: help(str.uppermethod) wrong? this does not make sense

Hi there! I believe you mean Kenneth and I also believe you mean the "center" method.

Here's a partial quote from the video regarding help at around 7:54 of the video:

Methods, functions things like that ... we don't use parenthesis, we just use the name

Kenneth uses help(str.center). The name of the method is "center", not "centermethod".

You only need to use the name of the method: help(str.upper).

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
