Now, add a method named hours that returns "We're open from {} to {}.". Replace the first placeholder with the open

Now, add a method named hours that returns "We're open from {} to {}.". Replace the first placeholder with the open time and the second with the close time. Remember you need to pass keywords to .format() if your placeholders have names.

method.py 
class Store:
    open = 9
    close = 5

    def hours(self):
        return ("we're open from {} to {}.".format(open, close))

You were very close!

Two things. First, your W in We're is not capital. Not sure if it would care, but the challenge has it quoted as a capital. Second you need to refer to self when using your class properties inside it's methods.

Your code with these changes would look like this.

class Store:
    open = 9
    close = 5

    def hours(self):
        return ("We're open from {} to {}.".format(self.open, self.close))

Keep up the great work! :)

1 = cant i just do like this instead of doing it in youe way?: class Store: open = 9 close = 5

def hours():
    return ("We're open from {} to {}.".format(open, close))

2= and let us say we used your method way did you used .self in (self.open, self.close) ?
