1,436 PointsCan't get correct reversed string
I tried both following, just cannot get the correct answer. Please let me know what is wrong:
def stringcases(string): a = string.upper() b = string.lower() c = string.capitalize() d = list(string) d.reverse reve = "".join(d) tpl = (a, b, c, reve) return tpl
def stringcases(string): a = string.upper() b = string.lower() c = string.capitalize() d = string.split() d.reverse reve = " ".join(d) tpl = (a, b, c, reve) return tpl
def stringcases(string):
a = string.upper()
b = string.lower()
c = string.capitalize()
d = list(string)
d.reverse
reve = "".join(d)
tpl = (a, b, c, reve)
return tpl

a = someString
reversedString = a[::-1]
this is in python3 btw.

Courses Plus Student 495 Pointsoh, it's because you're converting the string into a List. It's asking for a string data type, not List data type.
d = list(string) #remove this line of code#
d = string[::-1] #and replace it with this#
you can check out all string operations here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#string-methods
reading the documentation can be a bit tedious but really rewarding.

1,436 PointsThanks a lot. In my original code, the list gets joined into a string. but, I have tried [::-1], still cannot get to pass the challenge........ T T

Courses Plus Student 495 PointsYou can still use your original code just add open and close parenthesis in "d.reverse" so it becomes "d.reverse()" you have to call the function 'reverse'

1,436 PointsThanks a lot!!! Great catch, but still cannot get pass. I mean "reversed" means to make "ab c" to "c ab", rightοΌ

1,436 PointsSomeone just answered my question and then the answer disappeared. However, that answer was the correct one. I should have used .title(), rather than .capitalize(). No idea the system keeps saying "Got the wrong string for Reversed" ..... Got passed now!! Thank you all!!!!

1,436 PointsThanks a lot. But still can't got the write answer..... Actually, here is the question:
Create a function named stringcases that takes a single string but returns a tuple of different string formats. The formats should be: All uppercase All lowercase Titlecased (first letter of each word is capitalized) Reversed
