why it did not work?
# The first half of the string, rounded with round(), should be lowercased.
# The second half should be uppercased.
# E.g. "Treehouse" should come back as "treeHOUSE"
def sillycase(string):
middle=int(len(string)/2)
return string[:middle].lower()+string[middle:].upper()

The int function truncates, try using round instead.

Courses Plus Student 4,976 PointsHey Steven, can you elaborate what you mean when you say that it truncates? I'm not quite sure what that means in this context, could you give a simple example/illustration?
Cheers
