I can't figure out why this isn't working. When I click recheck work it says store_open is not set to false. Where am I messing up.
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'

The challenge is looking for the values to be set as Boolean values, but you put quotes around them and turned them into strings. Also, in Python, the Boolean values are capitalized.
if time in store_hours:
store_open = True
else:
store_open = False
Keep Coding! :)
