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

They ask me to print: "to short" or "to long" and else "True" I enter ("string") to the def and removed string definition and received again this error. Thanks to your reply

you don't need to cast a string to a string, and also the challenge asks you to return the statements, not print them.
