To look up the documentation about the str class's upper method, I'd use help( ). ??

In Python Basics under the Second quiz it states: Please fill in the correct answer for the blank(s) below. Fill in the blank(s) below: To look up the documentation about the str class's upper method, I'd use help(). Be explicit!

This does not seem to work or I am missing something. I would think I would just type in: help(str) - since it is not asking my about a specific element within the function otherwise it would look like: help (str.format) - Neither of these work so I am lost as to what to do.

P.S: Treehouse, the method to ask questions needs some serious work. Let me hit a button, move the window to the side so I can see what I was working on and type up my question. Make it one screen so I can place my title and my question right away. Otherwise it is just frustrating and usability is a key aspect to a learning platform.

So close! You nearly had it!

You're right about what you would enter to look up the "format" method of the "str" class. It's just that this question is asking you what to enter to look up the "upper" method of the "str" class.

Also, the forum is a great place to get help from other students, but may not be the most expedient (or even certain) way to contact the staff. If you have a specific suggestion, you might want to make it directly to the staff as described on the Support page.
