2nd Challenge Task if else Admitted question giving me trouble

This is my code, I believe it is correct, unless I'm not seeing something through correctly or I missed a rule on the if else conditions.

admitted = None

age = 14 if age >= 13: admitted = True else: admitted = False

The first part of the challenge i get a correct answer, on the 2nd part though I'm getting a Bummer! ' admitted' is not False message... if i change the age then the message is reffering to the first task not passing. Please help!

conditions.py 
admitted = None

age = 14
if age >=13:
  admitted = True
else:
  admitted = False

The variable age is set by the challenge. Remove the line age = 14 else you'll overwrite the test setting it to less than 13. Hence, the expected result of False is never stored in admitted. The questions starts with I'm going to create a variable named age so you don't have to.

The code should look like:

admitted = None

if age >= 13:
  admitted = True
else:
  admitted = False

The challenge will run your code with age set to two values. If you change that value in the code, the test suite will assume, correctly, that your code isn't working as it expected.

I hope that makes sense.

Steve.

Challenge Task 1 of 2

I'm going to create a variable named age. I need you to make an if condition that sets admitted to True if age is 13 or more.

admitted = None

if age >= 13:

     admitted = True

Keep up the momentum!

Challenge Task 2 of 2

OK, one more. Add an else to your if. In the else, set admitted to False.

admitted = None

if age >= 13:

      admitted = True

else:

       admitted = False
