Check your indentation. When you define a method belonging to a class, you need to indent the definition. Also, you're using print, but you should be using a return statement.

Hope it helps!

Yes, that should work. The "def hours" function should have the same indentation as your class structure as well as using return instead of print.

Good luck!
