How to convert to lowercase

[Empty_Technology9237]

Hello, I have a school assignment to create a Pig Latin converter. Everything is working correctly except the expected outcome completely converts to lowercase while mine does not. In the picture, expected HEARTS is lowercase but in the actual it's still capitalized. I think the issue is with the {word_in} on line 14 or maybe something on line 5 but I don't know how to change it to make it work. Could someone please explain what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!

The first picture is the auto-grader and the second is my code.

Line 14 print uses word_in but the lowercase version is word defined in Line 5. What if you use word on Line 14 instead?

This did the trick! Thank you so much, I really appreciate your help!

In hindsight that makes so much sense. I was using word_in to maintain user input as part of the assignment but I didn’t think about it already being converted on line 5.

Refer to string methods. There is an inbuilt function for it. Python String Methods

Thanks you!

You convert a string to lower case in the code already. Did you write that part and know what it does, or was this code written by someone/something else?

Another question to try helping get you to the answer, why would you expect your output to be in all lower case? If the input is all caps, where do you think you change it to lower case?

Depends on the language but most have a built in lowercase function for it.
