Hi Siddharth,

the challenge asks you to return rather than print:

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

Hey Siddharth! Your close, but you weren't suppose to print anything. Instead of printing those string, return them.

Hope this helps!
