34,368 PointsProblem using 'in' function
The instructions are:
- Create a variable named "time" and store current hour
- 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
Code from challenge
store_open = None store_hours = [9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18]
=================================================
// My Code Below for question
time = 12 if time in store_hours: store_open = True else: store_open = False
I keep getting this error:
Bummer! store_open is not False. I don't see any error. Please help.
store_open = None
store_hours = [9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18]
time = 12
if time in store_hours:
store_open = True
else:
store_open = False

4,344 PointsHey Micah,
So your code is actually right! I think you just misread the challenge. In the first line they specify that they will make the variable. This is something you'll run into all the time here, Treehouse will feed your code some variable, string, tuple, list, ect.. And your code needs to do something to it. So all you need to do is delete like 3 ( time = 12 ) and this should pass!
