Unable to get the answer right for this

"To get help for the method center that belongs to the str class, I'd use"

I think the answer for this question is help(str) or dir(str).

Both are coming up as wrong answers. What would the correct answer be ?

In the video, I think I looked up the help for the rjust() method of the str class. Obviously you don't want to look up that as the answer to the question, but it should point you in the right way.

I'll bold somethings for you.

"To get help for the method center that belongs to the str class, I'd use"

so you are looking for the method "center" that belongs to the "str" class... I'm giving you a hint that might help..if you still can't get the answer then let us know to help.

Just to add on another place where someone has mentioned before. when you do type help(str.center) on the android app a space appears between help and (str.center) making it invalid. So basically delete the space.
