Need help with task.

Can someone explain why my code is not valid for completing this task. I tested it on pyCharm it works as expected,

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

just_right(x)

you should approach to the question, just as per to the request.

x = "xasdfg"
def just_right(x):
    if len(x) < 5:
        print("Your string is too short")#print or return
    elif len(x) > 5:
        print("Your string is too long")#print or return
    else:
        return True

just_right(x)
