Treehouse TeacherHi there! You're doing great, but there seems to be a misunderstanding of the challenge instructions. The challenge asks you to return
the strings, but you're printing the strings. Much as your else
statement uses a return True
, your if
and elif
statements should contain return statments.
Also, you do not need to call the function yourself. This will be done by Treehouse and you can safely remove the last line.
Hope this helps!
