Sillycase is working in Jupyter Notebook but not in Workspace

Why is this script not working?

sillycase.py 
name = 'Treehouse'

count = len(name)-1
first_half = round(int(count/2),0)

def sillycase(name):
    first = name[0:first_half].lower()
    second = name[first_half:count+1].upper()
    return first + second

sillycase('Treehouse')

You are very close. The count and first_half statements need to be inside the function so they operate on the passed function argument name
