I dont understand what you mean by defining the "hour" method

I am stuck in this position. How else do you define a method??

method.py 
class Store:
    open = 9
    close = 10
    def hours(self):
        return self.format("We're open from {self.open} to {self.close}")

Hi there! The error you're receiving is a bit misleading. You have defined the function. The problem lies in your formatting of the string you're returning. Also, your string is missing a full stop at the end. So let's see if you can get this with just a hint. Here's an example of string interpolation:

x = 10
y = 20
print("The value of x is {}.  The value of y is {}.".format(x,y))

Now, try adjusting the string you're returning to look more like the code above. Hope this helps! :sparkles:
