I'm having trouble setting the correct format for else condition and receiving the msg: invalid syntax (<string>, line 5

I was able to set up the "if" condition correctly but having some trouble with "else". I imagined it would be a similar set up? any help with where I went wrong? Thank you.

membership.py 
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

Looks like you just need to unindent your else clause. It should be on the same level as the if to which it belongs. Otherwise your code looks great and should pass the challenge just fine!

Happy coding!
