What am I missing here??

Am I missing a step somehow on this one?

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

Sorry, I see the challenge details weren't included.

I'm supposed to define a function that takes one string as an argument, prints some text if it's less than 5 chars long and different text if more than 5 chars. Lastly, return True if the length is "just right"

I see I was supposed to return the strings, not print them. All good!
