Hi Rona - What have you tried as the parameter name?

Hey Rona,

The challenge is much more than just the function declaration. What you put inside as the argument name actually doesn't matter, for simplicity, I would just use

def just_right(arg):

The important part of the challenge will be the body of the function you need to check the length of the string. You don't need to worry about passing in a string, the checker will do that for you, you just need to write the conditional that will check length against what is passed into arg by the checker.

Hopefully this help with being able to move forward. :)

Thanks jason i know how to do the main body but i was unsure on whether the function argument should literally be a string, thanks for the help.
