Hi Srikanth,

The logic is good, just that the exercise requires you to return and not print.

So the code should look like this:

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