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.

i have this so far

class Store: open = 9 close = 9

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

First thing is that you're passing the class name to the hours method, if this is a method of the class itself then you need to reference it differently.

Second, it looks like you're not passing any values to the 'format' method. You should pass the 2 values in the format method separated by a comma.

The code below doesn't work and I have no idea why. Its saying that task 1 is no longer passing. Any ideas anyone? class Store: open = 9 close = 17

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

I did it this way:

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