What is wrong with my code? Someone can help me? Thanks!
# The first half of the string, rounded with round(), should be lowercased.
# The second half should be uppercased.
# E.g. "Treehouse" should come back as "treeHOUSE"

Treehouse Guest TeacherHey Tulio, I have added comments to your code to explain. Please see below. Also you don't have to turn 'p' into a list.
def sillycase(p):
palavra_lista = p
l=int(len(palavra_lista))
c=round(l/2)
#c=int(c) not necessary you can use round()
priparte=palavra_lista[:c]
# pri.join(priparte) cannot call pri before initializing it
#pri=pri.upper()
segparte=palavra_lista[c:]
#seg.join(segparte) cannot call seg before initializing it
#seg=seg.lower()
fim= priparte.lower() + segparte.upper()
return fim
Cheers, Andi
