Help I don't know why this isn't working.

the task says "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. so yeah idk whats wrong.

conditions.py 
admitted = None
admitted = "True" if age => 13

Your code is typed a little out of order and missing a colon. We're going to use the if statement to start a new block to say what happens if this is true. Also, you set admitted to the string "True" instead of the boolean True. Take a look here:

admitted = None
if age >= 13:
  admitted = True
