Hard to tell, since I haven't seen the question :)

Hmm... maybe try defining a tuple months = ('January', 'February', ..., 'December') and then return the (MM-1)th element of the tuple as the month name. def full_date(date): months = ('January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December') return months[int(date[0:2])-1] + ' ' + date[3:5] + ', ' + date[6:] print(full_date('06/17/2016')) >>> June 17, 2016

Oh, that's even simpler: def full_date(m, d, y): months = ('January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December') return months[m-1] + ' ' + str(d) + ', ' + str(y) print(full_date(6, 17, 2016)) >>> June 17, 2016

I see... Autograders often expect *exactly* the same output as questioned, so maybe try to manipulate with the return formula to get exactly the correct answer.

it is working, but that's not what he wants. the question is like this. write a function that will convert a date from one format to another specifically, 6/10/2016 should convert to june 17, 2016. and he suggest using tuple for the months for easy access as an item [], so when you write on the def (6,17,2016) it will print june 17, 2016
