395 PointsAm I understanding the question correctly? conditions.py
I am to assume that age = 13 has already been declared. adb admitted = None.
so what is wrong with line 1 according to the "Bummer! invalid syntax in Line 1"
?
admitted = None
if age = 3:
admitted = True

Treehouse TeacherThis line right here will always evaluate to true (barring any freaky errors with memory allocation).
if age = 3:
And that's because you're using a single equals which is an assignment statement. You're assigning the value 3 to age. You need the double equals to check for equality. And change 3 to 13 and the condition to greater than per the challenge requirements.
admitted = None
if age > 13:
admitted = True

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
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
Keep up the momentum!
