If condition generating error

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 if time not in store_hours: store_open = False

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 if time not in store_hours:

Hi Reidpittshills,

There are some problems in your code, first in Python 'else if' statements are spelled 'elif'. Secondly, the indentation is wrong, your elif statement should be having the same indentation as your if statement seeing as if your if statement is not true, it will try your elif statement.

I hope that helps,

Jonas
