store_hours = [9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18]

Hello Aaron,

You don't need to add 'time in store_hours:' on ELSE anymore since you already mentioned it on IF.

Try this:

time = 15

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

hope this helps!

Hi Aaron!

What @macmondiaz said is true, but there is one more thing you need to take into consideration.

When you assign True or False in your if statement, you are assigning it to your list, therefore replacing your list with a boolean. I think what you are supposed to be doing is replacing store_open (which is None) with True or False based on if the store is open.

Your code would look 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

This way, store_open is true if the store is open but false if the store is closed!
