It's not working!!!!

I cant get this to work, it looks good enough.

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

Hi there! You're doing terrific! Your logic and syntax are spot on :thumbsup: But you missed a part in the instructions where they say they want you to return the strings, but you are printing them. If I change those print statements to return statements, your code passes.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
