Stuck? The idea behind text processing

Go through text a character at a time, and build the answer as you go: a new string, or a list of pieces joined at the end with "".join().

ord() gives a character's number and chr() the character for a number: useful for shifting letters.

text = input()
out = []
for ch in text:
    out.append(ch.upper() if ch.islower() else ch.lower())
print("".join(out))

Watch for: Shifting letters past "z" must wrap round to "a": use % 26 on the letter's position in the alphabet.
