Create a new function named just_right that takes a single argument, a string.

If the string is longer than five characters, return "Your string is too long".
Otherwise, just return True.at i am asked to do by the teamtreehouse is this:

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

Please try this piece of code. It works perfectly.
def just_right(string):
    if len(string) < 5:
        return "Your string is too short"
    elif len(string) > 5:
        return "Your string is too long"
    else:
        return True

I don't think is the best approach to have return a string or boolean but this should do what you ask.
python
def just_right(num):
    if len(num) > 5:
        return "Your string is too long"
    else:
        return True
