uppercase and lowercase

I need you to create a new function for me.

This one will be named sillycase and it'll take a single string as an argument.

sillycase should return the same string but the first half should be lowercased and the second half should be uppercased.

For example, with the string "Treehouse", sillycase would return "treeHOUSE".

Don't worry about rounding your halves, but remember that indexes should be integers. You'll want to use the int() function or integer division, //.

It looks like you copied the instructions and have not written any code yet. Did you have a specific question?

If you need an implementation suggestion, you could determine half of the length and use that to make slices for the first and last halves of the argument. Then you could apply the appropriate method to transform each half and re-assemble them with concatenation.
