Python Python Collections (2016, retired 2019) Slices sillyCase

This works but it doesn't pass

def sillycase(string): iterlist = list(string) half = len(iterlist) // 2 fh = iterlist[:half] lh = iterlist[half:] print("".join(fh).lower() + "".join(lh).upper())

sillycase("Treehouse")

This code works in repl but not in treehouses workspace. Am I missing something?

sillycase.py
def sillycase(string):
  iterlist = list(string)
  half = len(iterlist) // 2
  fh = iterlist[:half]
  lh = iterlist[half:]
  print("".join(fh).lower() + "".join(lh).upper())

sillycase("Treehouse")

Simple issue, return. You are printing.

def sillycase(string):
    iterlist = list(string)
    half = len(iterlist) // 2
    fh = iterlist[:half]
    lh = iterlist[half:]
    return("".join(fh).lower() + "".join(lh).upper())

Ah you're the man Josh!
