Where's `sillycase()`?

Well, I have no idea how to debug this. Any help will be appreciated :D

silly.py 
# 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"

def sillycase(nome):
  first_h = nome[:round(len(nome)/2)]
  second_h= nome[round(len(nome)/2):]
  result = lower(first_h) + upper(second_h)
  return result

Your use of lower() and upper() methods are not correct. Please refer the code below.

# 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"

def sillycase(nome):
    first_h = nome[:round(len(nome)/2)]
    second_h= nome[round(len(nome)/2):]
    result = first_h.lower() + second_h.upper()
    return result
