why isn't my code working

def sillycase(string): Dot = int(len(string / 2)) josh = string[:Dot] alison = string[Dot:] return josh.lower() + alison.upper()

sillycase.py 
def sillycase(string):
    Dot = int(len(string / 2))
    josh = string[:Dot]
    alison = string[Dot:]
    return josh.lower() + alison.upper()

your code is OK just change this:

    Dot = int(len(string / 2))

to this:

    Dot = int(len(string) / 2)

len() returns the length of the string, this then should be devided by 2. What your doing is deviding the string by two and this is not allowed.

And note that it is bad practice using variable names which start with an uppercase
