# HumanEval/27

Implement a file **`solution.py`** that completes the function below. Keep the given name and signature; your file must define it at module level.

```python


def flip_case(string: str) -> str:
    """ For a given string, flip lowercase characters to uppercase and uppercase to lowercase.
    >>> flip_case('Hello')
    'hELLO'
    """
```

def check(candidate):
    assert candidate('') == ''
    assert candidate('Hello!') == 'hELLO!'
    assert candidate('These violent delights have violent ends') == 'tHESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS HAVE VIOLENT ENDS'

You are an expert programmer. Solve the task exactly as specified. Output your solution as fenced code blocks using the required file name(s) and the exact function/type signatures requested. Prefer correctness; do not include prose outside code unless asked.

```python
def flip_case(string: str) -> str:
    """ For a given string, flip lowercase characters to uppercase and uppercase to lowercase.
    >>> flip_case('Hello')
    'hELLO'
    """
    result = []
    for char in string:
        if char.islower():
            result.append(char.upper())
        elif char.isupper():
            result.append(char.lower())
        else:
            result.append(char)
