Hi Virochaan!

Remember indentation is very important. You also ou need to check the time against the store_hours and use store_open as the variable you'll set as True or False depending wether the time is indeed in store_hours or not. To assign a value of a variable, you want to use = and not ==. = is used to assign a value to a variable, while == is used to compare one value to another, Last but not least, while there are indeed ways to have an if statement described in one line, I'd recommend start learning by separating the statements this way:

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

I hope this helps!
