Hi Treehouse,
My code (attached) in the exercise brings the error that it’s not producing the correct output. However when I test it in Pythonista, it works fine. If ‘treehouse’ is the input the output is ‘treeHOUSE’.
def sillycase(thing):
half = len(thing) / 2
new_1 = thing[int(half):]
new_2 = thing[:int(half)]
new = new_2 + new_1.upper()
return new
