Hi Guys i think i am understand this Tuples challenge wrong, can you help?

Hi guys. This challenge is asking to return a tuple with four versions of a string. this is my code....I dont know where i am going wrong. Can you help? Thanks

#version 1

def stringcases():
  sting='the string'
  case=(sting.upper(),sting.lower(),sting.title(),sting[::-1])
  (a,b,c,d)=case

  return (a,b,c,d) 

#version 2

def stringcases():
  sting='the string'
  case=(sting.upper(),sting.lower(),sting.title(),sting[::-1])

  return case

thanks again Rey

I believe you might be misunderstanding the question. Here it is again: "Create a function named stringcases that takes a string and returns a tuple of four versions of the string: uppercased, lowercased, titlecased (where every word's first letter is capitalized), and a reversed version of the string."

Rather than specifying the string within the function you need to allow the user to provide it. def stringcases(the_string):

That should get you going enough to complete the exercise as the rest of your code looks like it should work (try fixing your version 2)

Hi Daniel. Thanks for your help. I was able to fix the error I made. I noticed I had to make the argument and the string in my function the same.

Thanks Rey
