Where am I going wrong on the reversing of the strings? Any tips?

can't seem to reverse the string

stringcases.py 
def stringcases(string):

    reverse = string.split()[::-1]
    reverse2 = ' '.join(reverse)

    tup = string.upper(), string.lower(), string.title(), reverse2

    return tup

Hi there,

Just use [::-1] for reversing. I got this:

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

Not sure about the surrounding brackets, but it passed the challenge!

Steve.

Yeah, the brackets are redundant; not needed.

No worries - you had it all in your code; it just needed putting together! :+1: :smile:
