Hi there!

We're talking about this question, right?

To get look up the documentation about the str class's upper method, I'd use help(_________) Be explicit!

Just as a refresher, the help() command returns the information in a class/method/function definition. For example:

>>>def bob():
...       "Function that returns the string 'Bob'"""
...       return "Bob"
>>> help(bob)
Help on function bob in module __main__:

bob()
    Function that returns the string 'Bob'
>>>

So to look up the int class's to_bytes method, we just pass it in to help without calling it: 

help(int.to_bytes)

Hope it helps :)

This is the correct answer. (STR.upper) and not (str.upper). The author in the video is referring to the STR and not str in the older version of Python.
