I need help with the Challenge Task. I am not able to guess where the mistake is.

Here is my code

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

Please, I would appreciate any help.

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

Hi there! You're actually doing brilliantly and your logic is spot on! But you missed a part of the instructions, I believe. You're supposed to return those strings... not print them. Just like you return True at the end.

Give it another go with this hint! :sparkles:
