Second of all, it's giving you that error because True and "true" are NOT the same thing. True is a boolean and "true" is a string. So this is how that should look once you set admitted a True
admitted = None
if age > 13:
admitted = True

4,930 PointsOkay, you just need one more line of code, it's going to be under that if statement. So in python you can set variables that already have a value to another value afterwards. Here's an example
In the example, x is already equal to 5 but with the if statement, since it's true, i'm setting x to another value.
So under that if statement, just make admitted equal to True.
Hope I helped :D
