I am not able to solve this problem. Can someone please help me??

How do define the string. Because I am calling the function on line 7 with the string value as "Cats"

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
just_right("cats")

Your function is correct however the challenge requires for us to return the strings, not print them :) Also you don't need those parenthesis in your if statements
