429 PointsI cant get admitted to be true with an if condition... Ive done it two or three different ways.. feeling stupid now!
admitted = None I'm told to create an if condition that sets admitted to true if age is 13 or more. I'm told that he will make the variable called age.

Treehouse TeacherI'd prefer to see what you've tried that's failed so that I can say specifically what you're doing incorrectly. Here's the code that you need:
admitted = None
if age >= 13:
admitted = True
First, admitted is set to None. Then we check to see if age is greater than or equal to thirteen. If it is, then we take admitted and write over the None value with True. Hope this helps!

20,110 PointsBecause he is making the age variable, we will not have to put that in our code. We will just make an if statement that uses the age variable. In the code below, we making an if statement that asks if age is greater than 13 (don't forget the colon). And if the age is greater than 13, then we just set the admitted variable to True. Make sure True is not in quotes (it wants the boolean value instead of a string) and make sure the T is capitalized. I didn't know what you were doing wrong since there is no code so I tried to explain everything even though you probably had most of it. Here is the code:
admitted = None
if age >= 13:
admitted = True

429 PointsI did have the code the same way several times but I did not capitalize the t in true is the only difference I seen... Then desperately started to try and make it work. And just went low iq with it.. Thanks so much

429 PointsThe only thing I see different is I did not capitalize the t in true and it kept on saying true is not defined... Thank you so much. I need to pay more attention I asume.

Treehouse TeacherThe reason you were getting that true is undefined is because it is. True is a python keyword. "true" is not. If you use the one with the lower case "t" ie "true" it thinks you're referring to a variable with that name... which you haven't defined or used yet. Hope that makes sense!
