What am I missing?
def just_right(string):
if len(string) < 5:
print("Your string is too short")
elif len(string) > 5:
print("Your string is too long")
else:
return True

Treehouse TeacherHi there! You're doing great, but much as the else
statement contains a return
, so should your if
and elif
. The challenge instructions ask you to return a string, but you are printing a string. Try it again with the prints changed to return statements.
Hope this helps!
