I just cannot get this to work..... Someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
time = 15
store_open = [14, 15, 16, 17, 18]
store_hours = [9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18]
if time in store_open:
True
else:
False

The store_open is a boolean type variable that you want to set to be True or False. You just need to assign store_open to the True or False value.
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

495 Pointsok, thanks
Maggie Wolff
495 Pointsnow the thing says: 'store_open' is not true
David Lin
35,864 PointsCan you post the code you tried which resulted in that error?
Maggie Wolff
495 Pointsall i did was change what you told me to change
David Lin
35,864 PointsOk but just to make sure there's no other typos in what you submitted, please post the code you tried.
Otherwise, just copy/paste my code snippet and try it directly.
(e.g. In your solution, did you use store_open = None, because in your original code snippet, it is store_open = [14, 15, 16, 17, 18], which shouldn't be the case.)

store_open = [14, 15, 16, 17, 18] store_hours = [9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18] if time in store_open: store_open = True else: store_open = False
David Lin
35,864 PointsOk, you need to use store_open = None instead of store_open = [14, 15, 16, 17, 18].
