Follow up prompt:

If the function determines that the current time is during business hours, print "business_hours: 1". If it's outside business hours, print "business_hours: 0"

Then your datapoint would use the key “business_hours”. You’d create a complex datapoint to multiply business_hours against your resulting data. Outside business hours, you should get 0. Flip the 0 and 1 if you want it the other way around.
