1,991 Pointsstring length exercise
I can't figure it out! I used the same structure used in the odd_even number exercise but it doesn't work. My code is the following: arg1 = str()
def just_right(arg1):
if len(arg1) < 5:
print("Your string is too short")
elif len(arg1) > 5:
print("Your string is too long")
else:
print("True")
just_right(arg1)
arg1 = str()
def just_right(arg1):
if len(arg1) < 5:
print("Your string is too short")
elif len(arg1) > 5:
print("Your string is too long")
else:
print("True")
just_right(arg1)

47,913 PointsPay attention to what the challenge asks you to do here. You'll never need to print anything. Instead, you should return in all cases. Also, in the case that the length is 5, you should return the boolean True instead of the string "True". You don't need to call the function at the end, either. Once you make those changes, your code passes the challenge. Great job!
