trying to return tuples of various string format, given a string

Please, what am I doing wrong? THANKS

stringcases.py 
def stringcases(single_string):
    uppercase = single_string.upper()
    lowercase = single_string.lower()
    titlecase = single_string.title()
    reversal = single_string[-1::-1]
    upper = tuple(uppercase)
    lower = tuple(lowercase)
    title = tuple(titlecase)
    reverse = tuple(reversal)
return upper, lower, title, reverse

tuple("string") return -> ("s", "t", "r", "i", "n", "g")

I'm guessing you want something like this -> (UPPERCASE, lowercase, Titlecase, esrever)

    def stringcases(word):
        return (word.upper(), word.lower(), word.title(), word[::-1])

Hope I helped.

Yeah, it works, thanks. But the question actually requested for tuple in different formats, am surprised this works.

I'm not a paying student so I can't watch the challenge, but from what I could gather from you post the function was supposed to return a tuple of strings with different format. If that is the case then the function is just fine:)
