For some reason my code keeps coming back with a bummer in strlen.py. I have tested this in terminal so I know it work.

def just_right(word): if len(word) < 5: print("Your string is too short") elif len(word) > 5: print("Your string is too long") else: return True

strlen.py 
def just_right(string):
    if len(string) < 5:
        print("Your string is too short.")
    elif len(string) > 5:
        print("Your string is too long.")
    else:
        return True

You are asked to return the value not print. that should help you out.

Figured it out. It was expecting return statements and not print statements. Thanks!
