How do I set the variable to True?
Should I use bool(), or bool function is just for checking if it is true?

Question

admitted = None
if age >= 13:
  I tried admitted is None, but that is wrong.
When responding please consider that I am beginner to programming.
```conditions.py
admitted = None
if age >= 13:
```

Hi there!  Yes, the bool() is a function that will return a boolean value based on what it's looking at.  Here's some documentation on that: https://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html
And might I say, so far you're doing great!  You've understood the comparison and how to set up your if statement, so I'm just going to show you the tiny bit you're missing.
```python
admitted = True
```
This will set the admitted variable to True.  Don't forget to indent properly and good luck! :sparkles:

The question is asking for you to re-assign the variable to true if age is greater than or equal to 13. Try this:
python
admitted = None
if age >= 13:
    admitted = True
