What is incorrect in this?

Create a new function, taking a string as an arguement.

If length is less than 5, return print too short; if length of string is greater than 5,return print too long; else return True

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

Remember: just_right is supposed to return a string directly, without printing it first
