637 PointsI am stuck in this task can somebody tell me my mistake?
The task says "Create a new function named just_right that takes a single argument, a string. If the length of the string is less than five characters, return "Your string is too short". If the string is longer than five characters, return "Your string is too long". Otherwise, just return True.". Δ± did thiΕ but bummer says "Try again!". Can somebody tell my mistakle?
def just_right(num):
if len(num) < 5:
print("Your string is too short")
elif len(num) > 5:
print("Your string is too long")
else:
return True

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