The prompt 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.

Since the creation of the variable "age" is not our responsibility, let's focus on the second sentence. Everything we need is right there. So below the line that was already provided, we need to write our "if" clause. What condition are we looking for? If age is 13 or more! Since age is a variable that is supposed to contain a number, we can use comparative operators like <, >, etc, on it.

And if our condition is met, what should we do? Set the variable "admitted" to True. This can be done with =. I hope this helps, let me know if I can explain any further!
