Error with finding value of variable

time = 15

 if time in store_hours:                                                                         
     store_open = True                                                                           
else:                                                                                           
    store_open = False                                                                          

bool(store_open)                                                                                
False                                                                                               
print(store_open)                                                                               
None

Why am i getting False & None when answer should be true since 15 is in store_hours?

After reformatting your question, the issue becomes clearer. There is an extra space in front of the if statement
