I'm stuck on the IN challenge

I just don't really get it

membership.py 
time = 15

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

The goal of the challenge is to assign the proper value to store_open. So you would want your conditional branches (if/then) to each make the assignment (i.e. if yes, then store_open = True, etc.). Right now you just have assertions of True or False in the branches, without assigning those values to anything.

Also, I believe you want the if/then to evaluate time, not store_open. See if that makes it easier to structure your code.

This is the question btw

See that time variable? That's what time it currently is, at least for this test. But, when you submit your code, the time might change! I need you to make an if the condition that sets store_open to True if time is in the store_hours list. Otherwise, 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.
