As Chris pointed out, the code should be formated 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

Sometimes i like doing things differently ,i guess this can also work:

if time not in store_hours:
    store_open = False
else:
    store_open = True

[MOD: added ```python formatting -cf]
