#nothing wrong with the way you have coded, nor the logic
#see, first of all these questions are tailor made, and look for exactly what is been asked

def just_right(abc):
    abc_length = len(str(abc))
    if abc_length < 5:
        print('Your string {} is too short'.format(abc))#you have been asked to return not to print, 
#and you have been asked to only return 'Your string is too  short'
    elif abc_length == 5:
        return (True)
    else:
        print('Your string {} is too long'.format(abc))#you have been asked to return and not to print, 
#and you have been asked to only return 'Your string is too long'
