Cant figure this task out.

Need help finding out why code doesn't work.

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

The instructions say you should return strings based on the value (not print them).
