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

kindly help me find out why is this code not running?

membership.py 
store_open = None
store_hours = [9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18]
time = 5
if time in store_hours:
    store_open = True
else:
    store_open = False

It may sound weird and bad practice, but it says "(well, what I want the current hour to be)". Don't add a time var!

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

Good luck coding!

Well Kenneth says that he'll make the time what he wants it to be. So really, you write the main code, and Kenneth will take it from there.
