It works fine in my other editor. Goal is for the function to take the string, and return a tuple with 4 different string values.
- All upper
- All lower
- First letter titled
- string reversed
def stringcases(string):
title_string = ''
reversed_string = ''
for letters in string:
if string.index(letters) == 0:
title_string += letters.upper()
else:
title_string += letters.lower()
tuple(title_string)
a=-1
for letters in string:
reversed_string += string[a]
a-=1
tuple(reversed_string)
return (string.upper(), string.lower(), title_string, reversed_string)

Similar to the first two values, the title case can be made with a built-in string method (you may need to look it up, but you might even guess the method name), and the final value can be made without a loop by using a slice.
