does anyone know why I'm being told to try again?

Am I not suppose to use len() or something?

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

It looks like you are using print when you should use return.
