I just had a look at the challenge you referenced.
The challenge is not about printing "open" or "close". They want you to change the value of store_open (which is none at the initialisation) to True if time is in store_hours and False if it isn't. You don't need to use the print function at all. I passed this challenge this way.
I hope it will work for you as well.

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
Make sure you understand why as it is one of the core concept of many (if not all) programming language. No need to rush :)

743 Pointsright yeah i thought i had to print so it did a thing, but just stating store_open = true, makes it thus. also one thing i noticed is CAPS for the beginning of True & False the fact it wasn't orange meant it wasn't a function. i should of noticed that. i'll make sure to excel at this in particular as i see so much use in it for my own projects to come. thank you very much max !!

7,169 PointsAlways happy to help :) Yes booleans value in python start with caps. Syntax can be frustrating sometimes but it's worth it to overcome it. Keep learning and i wish you the best for your projects.

7,169 PointsHi,
Not an expert in python but it might come from the absence of column after else. Try adding the column and see if it works.
Hope it helped

743 PointsI don't think its that, gave it a go anyway, but seems to be something else that is the way to block it i believe. >.< thanks for trying !
