If I try this with the string 'treehouse' it returns treeHOUSE as described in the instructions. Yet it gives me "Bummer: Try again!". Thanks in advance!
def sillycase(string):
half = len(string) // 2
first = string[:half]
second = string[half:]
third = first.lower() + second.upper()
return third

Python Development Techdegree Student 17,801 Pointsit's working for me. How are you calling the function?
This is what I did:
def sillycase(string):
half = len(string) // 2
first = string[:half]
second = string[half:]
third = first.lower() + second.upper()
return third
print(sillycase("today is the day"))
This is what I get back
treehouse:~/workspace$ python testing.py
today is THE DAY
