Alarm clock printing

up vote 5 down vote favorite I know there must be an easier way to write this but I'm stuck in over-complicating mindset instead of just following the Zen of Python. Please help me simplify this. Given a day of the week encoded as 0=Sun, 1=Mon, 2=Tue, ...6=Sat, and a boolean indicating if we are on vacation, return a string of the form "7:00" indicating when the alarm clock should ring. Weekdays, the alarm should be "7:00" and on the weekend it should be "10:00". Unless we are on vacation -- then on weekdays it should be "10:00" and weekends it should be "off". alarm_clock(1, False) → '7:00' alarm_clock(5, False) → '7:00' alarm_clock(0, False) → '10:00' def alarm_clock(day, vacation): weekend = "06" weekdays
