I'm trying to do the string cases exercise. I ran the code through my work space and it worked I think. I got the result that I wanted. But I keep receiving the bummer try again message. Is the issue that my tuple isn't properly created?
def stringcases(string):
uc = str.upper(string)
lc = str.lower(string)
titlec = str.title(string)
reversec = (string[::-1])
stringcase_tuple = (uc, lc, titlec, reversec)
return (stringcase_tuple)

def stringcases(string):
uc = str.upper(string)
lc = str.lower(string)
titlec = str.title(string)
reversec = (string[-1::-1]) # if slicing in reverse you will start with -1 instead of 0 which is implied
stringcase_tuple = (uc, lc, titlec, reversec)
return (stringcase_tuple)

When you are stepping through the string via slice, you must consider the direction. The first to parameters are relevant to the direction you are headed.
