Works fine on IDE here is says Bummer? :(

When i run it on my IDE its all good but here says that it has a problem and i have to try again i cant understand if it is a logical problem or a syntax problem but i need help.

sillycase.py 
def test(num):
  mid = int(round(len(num) / 2))
  end = int(len(num))

  text = num[0:mid].lower() + num[mid:end].upper()
  return text

name = "Treehouse"

print(test(name))

The instructions say to "create a new function ... named sillycase", but this one is named "test" instead.

Also, you only need to define the function, you don't need to call it or to print anything.
