Python Python Collections (2016, retired 2019) Tuples Stringcases

Tupples

Hi everyone,

I'm sorry I have to bother you on Xmas day. I'm trying to breathe python as much as I can! Haha.

Please help with this code challenge. My code is attached.

When I did run it in workspaces it worked. I got the tupples for all the different cases of the string but the checker on the code challenge is giving me an error message: "Bummer! Got the wrong string(s) for: Uppercase, Reversed, Titlecase, Lowercase."

Awaiting your urgent response please.

Thank you.

stringcases.py 
def stringcases(str):
    for char in enumerate(str.upper(), start=1):
        return ("{}: {}".format(*char))
    for char in enumerate(str.lower(), start=1):
        return ("{}: {}".format(*char))
    for char in enumerate(str.title(), start=1):
        return ("{}: {}".format(*char))
    give = str[-1::-1]
    for char in enumerate(give, start=1):
        return ("{}: {}".format(*char))

I have also tried this:

def stringcases(str):
    index = 1
    wow = str[-1::-1]
    return ((index, str.upper()), "," , (index+1, str.lower()), "," , (index+2, str.title()), "," , (index+3, wow))

It also produced a tuple with different string formats but the checker still gives me an error message on the code challenge.

Awaiting hints from someone please.

Thank you.

Hello there,

I used this code below and it works as expected. I hope you already found a good solution by yourself.

Otherwise maybe this will help:

def stringcases(string):
    string_uppercase = string.upper() #str-Function for uppercase
    string_lowercase = string.lower() #str-Function for lowercase
    string_titlecase = string.title() #str-Function for first letter of each word capitalized
    string_list = list(string) #Make a list from my string to make it 'accessable'
    string_reversed = "".join(string_list[-1::-1]) #build a reversed string from my list of characters
    return (string_uppercase, string_lowercase, string_titlecase, string_reversed) #return the tuple
