The error in the code

I tried to solve the code challenge for the Python containment but I exactly followed the instructions and I don't know why the code is not right. Could anyone help me find the bug in the code? Thanks.

membership.py 
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

The else should be aligned with the "if" and not indented

Is your spacing correct? If that's the spacing you're using, I can see it throwing an error. Try it again and check your spacing. See if that works. Good luck! :)
