Error

Looks good to me but I keep getting an error with something wrong with line nine even though their isn't any code on that line.

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"

After everything is corrected, it should look like that:

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

Hi Yusuf,

watch the syntax: "if" has a lowercase i and True and False are not strings, so remove the "".
