def just_right(string): #in this line, you create the function just_right, it takes 1 argument
if len(string) < 5: #here, you see if the length of the string is smaller then 5
return "Your string is too short" #if so, it returns the string "Your string is too short"
elif len(string) > 5: #if the first condition is false, you then go on to see if the string is longer than 5 characters
return "Your string is too long" #is so, it returns the string "Your string is too long"
else: #if neither of the 2 statements above are true, then your string must be 5 characters long
return True #it then returns True

1 make sure you create the function which takes a string parameter in the parentheses
2 use the len() function to find the length of the string parameter
3 use an if else branch to determine if the string more or less than 5 characters
good luck!
