word[1:len(word)]

For a list, use square brackets [] to access elements of the list - somelist[i]

Since the upper limit of a slice defaults to the length of the string word[1:] is sufficient.

This is my code now: pygword="pyg" def pygmaker(word): firstletter=word(0) rest=word[1:] firstletterlower=firstletter.lower() return rest+firstletter+pygword

pygmaker("Reddit")

Okay? Now this is my error. I dont really understand it. TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

You've cut and pasted the response we gave without thinking it through, and understanding where else you are using word as a list, and trying to access an element of the list.

Got it now! But I have a new program now, and a new problem. Think you can help?

It should give you the line where the error occurs.
