The issue is that you didn't read the documentation.
It happen the programming languages are no plain english, you need to learn how to express what you want to do.
This is not Python:

Python

if question == str( 'Yes' or 'yes'):
    print(a.upper())

You have to transform to:

Python

if question == 'Yes' or question == 'yes':
    print(a.upper())

I guessed you are a newbie, because this mistake is done only by newbies. :)
How to build a complex condition is something you learn by reading documentation, or by following good tutorial, but you don't guess.

Try this:

Python

a = "Hello, world!"
print(a[-5:-2])
question = input("Do you want to convert " + a +" in upper case? " )

if question == 'yes':
    print(a.upper())
else:
    question2 = input("Do you want to " + a + "into lower case? ")
    if question2 == 'yes':
        print(a.lower())

what was the issue

Compare your code - which doesn't work - with mine - which does.
It should be pretty obvious what you did wrong! :laugh:
