Welcome to the forum @sriharshavvss

Update your str.maketrans() call by concatenating to each argument the uppercase version of the argument itself.

You started with two arguments, but added a third - which you were not asked to do.

Please reset the step to restore the seed code.

Make sure you concatenate the upper case version of each argument.

Happy coding
