Hey MoatazBellah,

Syntactically, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the code. (Good Job! :thumbsup:)

But, you are receiving the Bummer! because you didn't follow the instruction for the task exactly. Challenges are very picky and super strict. If it doesn't get exactly what they ask for... it will shoot out the Bummer!.

Here, the only issue is the instructions explicitly say to return the strings, but you have print instead. Just change those two print statements to return statements and all will pass. :smiley:

Keep Coding! :dizzy:
