name = 'Treehouse'
count = len(name)-1 first_half = count/2
def sillycase(): first = name[0:first_half].lower() second = name[first_half:99].upper() return first + second print sillycase()
name = 'Treehouse'
count = len(name)-1
first_half = count/2
def sillycase():
first = name[0:first_half].lower()
second = name[first_half:99].upper()
return first + second
print sillycase()

- you forgot to indicate name as a parameter (inside the parentheses of the definition)
- your calculations of count and first_half should be done inside the function
- to be used as an index, you must make sure first_half is an integer
- you won't need to establish a test string, the challenge will pass it to you
- you don't need to print anything
