I need you to make an if condition that sets admitted to True if age is 13 or more.

Hi,

I'm a bit stuck in here. Figure out what I've done wrong and what could I do to repair the error?

conditions.py 
admitted = None
age = 13
if 13 > None:
    print("true")

Here's a few hints:

  • the challenge says it will create the variable age, so you don't need to
  • you should test if age is 13 or more, but your test checks if 13 is greater than None.
  • "13 or more" would be the same thing as "greater than or equal 13", so it needs a different comparison operator
  • if the test passes, you need to set admitted to True
  • you won't need to print anything

#you forgot to add the equal
#change the value of admitted to True
admitted = None
age = 13
if age >= 13:
    admitted =True

:warning: Frank, you forgot my first hint.

You should not create or set the variable age. The challenge does that itself.
