Now modify your function to work correctly when the input is any type of data. Use short-cut evaluation to make sure that there is no error message.

You can check the type of a variable by seeing if its type is the same as the type of a constant. For example, to check if a variable x is an integer, you can use the expression type(x) == type(1).

Hint:

Order the smaller expressions so that string functions are only performed on inputs that are strings.
