I'm going to create a variable named time. It'll be an integer for the current hour (well, what I want the current hour to be). I need you to make an if condition that sets store_open to True if time is in store_hours. If time isn't in store_hours, set store_open to False. You'll probably have to use if, else, and in to solve this one.

membership.py 
store_open = None
store_hours = [9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18]
if store_open is in store_hours:
  store_open = true
  else:
      if time is not in store_hours:
  store_open = false

Hi there. The variable time has already been created for you. you need to check if time is in store_hours using the in keyword. If it is, set store_open to True, if not, set it to False:

store_open = None
store_hours = [9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18]
if time in store_hours:  #if the current time is in store_hours
  store_open = True      #set store_open to True
else:                    #if it is not in store_hours
  store_open = false     #set store_open to False
