Just no idea what you want. The function is easy to write but apperently it doesn't pass your test. Which is complicated to figure out if I don't know which test you use.

Treehouse TeacherHi there! I feel like there might be some misunderstanding of the instructions. The challenge is explicitly testing the length of the string being sent to it. Here's a quote from the challenge:
If the length of the string is less than five characters, return "Your string is too short". If the string is longer than five characters, return "Your string is too long".
So if the string that they send (and the challenge says the function should accept a string) is less than 5 characters use return to return the string "Your string is too short". If it's greater than 5 characters then return "Your string is too long" . Otherwise, you should return True.
I hope these hints will help! Please let us know if you need further assistance
