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

im not sure what I am doing incorrectly... I may be misunderstanding the question...

conditions.py 
admitted = None
if admitted >= 13:
    print(True)

The name of the variable you are checking in the condition should be 'age', not 'admitted'.

You don't need to print True, you just need to assign it to the 'admitted' variable.

admitted = None
if age >= 13:
    admitted = True

Here's a couple of hints, if you'd like to try resolving it without a spoiler:

  • you need to test the value of age, not admitted
  • if the condition passes, you should assign the value True to admitted
  • you don't need to print anything
