What am I doing wrong?

I feel like maybe, the problem is with my variable argument.

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

#program is correct, in terms of the logic.
#hope you read the question clearly again, look into the areas, I have pound

def just_right(word):
    if len(word) < 5:
        print("Your string is too short") #have you been asked to print
    elif len(word) > 5:
        print("Your string is too long") #have you been asked to print
    else:
        return True
