while true do
if os.time() >= 17 or os.time() <= 6 then
redstone.setOutput("left", true)
sleep(4)
redstone.setOutput("left", false)
end
end
2 egals in a if, and it's better like this.And it's not the better forum to ask this.

for future reference the "Programs" section is for completed programs. The "Ask a Pro" section is the one you would normally post this kind of question on.
now to answer the problem…
= (assignment) is an assignment operator. i.e. it is what you use to store a value into a name to reuse it later
== (equals) is a comparison operator i.e. you use this to compare two values
~= (not equal) is also a comparison operator, it is the opposite of above.

And a
sleep(0)
is needed to stop the "Too long without yielding" error after the while.7
(no more errors xD)

Use the "Remove Format" button (its the rubber) and it will remove all that for you…

A daylight sensor needs to be able to see the sky. a computer does not. I actually made a similar script a while ago for #WHYISTHISNOTWORKING
