strlen.py 
var = "string"

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

Hey there,

You've pretty much got it, except for one thing.
return and print are two separate methods and cannot be used in conjunction with each other. You can either return the string or print the string, but not both on the same line.

So, just delete the two print references so you are just returning the string, and the rest of the code is correct. :thumbsup:

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:
