There are two issues:

  1. The else needs to be on the same indentation level (horizontal spacing) as the if statement it is attached to.

  2. True and False are Boolean values. They are not strings, and as such should not be surrounded by quote marks.

If you fix those two issues like this:

time = 15

store_open = None
store_hours = [9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18]

if time in store_hours:
    store_open = True
else:
    store_open = False

Then your code will work.

I've made the same mistake with the indentation in another question. The quotes are always confusing me but I'll be careful about those as well :) Thanks!
