How I solve this problem? =c

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.

store_open = None store_hours = [9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18] time = 18 if time in store_hours: print("We are open") else: store_open = 1

membership.py 
store_open = None
store_hours = [9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18]
time = 18
if time in store_hours:
    print("We are open")
else:
    store_open = 1

Hi there, Alex Galhardo!

In the first line of the challenge instructions it says that they'll create the time variable for you. Here you're overwriting what Treehouse is sending with time = 18. They're going to decide what the time is and test it... not you :smiley:

Secondly, your else statement should set store_open equal to False if the time is not found in the open hours. Take a look:

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

Hi again Alex,

  1. You don't need to assign the variable time. Assume it will be provided by Kenneth.
  2. If your statement is true, you should set store_open to True, if it is false you should set store_open to False.
