The challenge is asking for

Titlecased (first letter of each word is capitalized)

You function outputs the following incorrect tuple:

#  your function
def stringcases(string):
    return string.upper(), string.lower(), string.capitalize(), string[::-1]

print(stringcases('abc DEF gHi jkL'))  #  simple silly test case

#  your output
('ABC DEF GHI JKL', 'abc def ghi jkl', 'Abc def ghi jkl', 'Lkj iHg FED cba')

#  desired output
('ABC DEF GHI JKL', 'abc def ghi jkl', 'Abc Def Ghi Jkl', 'Lkj iHg FED cba')

Thanks! Why are we not able to see all of the test cases and outputs? That would be a lot more useful then asking for every test case fail what is wrong?

Not sure, but that was just a test case I created. My guess is that you need to create your own test cases and test your own code. To me, testing is the most important part of coding (just one goofball's opinion) :smile:
