I am passing Task 1, but when i go to Task 2, it says Task 1 is not completed. why?

Task 1 :

admitted = None

age = 14

if age >= 13: admitted = True

Task 2 :

admitted = None

age = 14

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

conditions.py 
admitted = None

age = 14

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

Hey Ayaz,

When you get that error, it almost always means that you have introduced a syntax error in the current task you are working on, not the one that the error says is no longer passing... I know... a very misleading error.

Here, you have a couple of issues.

  1. The challenge didn't ask for you to declare an age variable, so the line age = 14 needs to be deleted.
  2. Your if/else statement has some indentation issues, and this is what is causing your "Bummer!" message. Your else statement should not be indented. When it is (as you have it, it is then inside of the if statement.

Just delete that one line... fix up the indentation... and you'll be good to go.

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:
