Not sure what else I am missing. I am not clear on what it means I have to press keywords to .format(). I rewatched the video again, am I still missing a step?
class Store:
open = 9
close = 8
hours = We're open from 9 to 8
def hours(self):
return self.hours.upper()

class Store:
open = 6
close = 9
def hours(self):
return "We're open from " + str(self.open) + " to " + str(self.close) + "."
[MOD fixed formatting -cf]

Treehouse Moderator 68,454 PointsA few thing to clean up: hours used as both string name and method name; String formatting incorrect. self.hours refers to the method not the string. Here's the commented and updated code:
class Store:
open = 9
close = 8
string = "We're open from {} to {}." #<-- name collides with method. Missing quotes, period
def hours(self):
return self.string.format(self.open, self.close) #<-- include reference to class using 'self.'
