Hi, need help on a challenge

So I honestly don't know why my response doesn't complete the challenge. I tried it out in workspaces, and it worked. What's my problem. (for titlecase, I originally replaced it with string[0].upper() + string[1:])

stringcases.py 
def stringcases():
    upper = string.upper()
    lower = string.lower()
    titlecase = string.title()
    reverse = string[-1::-1]
    final = upper, lower, titlecase, reverse
    return final

Your only mistake is that you aren't passing anything into your function (see first line in solution below):

def stringcases(string):
    upper = string.upper()
    lower = string.lower()
    titlecase = string.title()
    reverse = string[-1::-1]
    final = upper, lower, titlecase, reverse
    return final

As an aside, this also works for the reverse line:

    reverse = string[::-1]
