Issues in the Python basics code challenge. "OK, one more. Add an else to your if. In the else, set admitted to False."

So the challenge is this "OK, one more. Add an else to your if. In the else, set admitted to False." and my solution to the question was the simple program

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

When I check the work the response is "Bummer! 'admitted' is not False"

I am not sure what's wrong here?

conditions.py 
admitted = None
age = 13
if age >= 13:
  admitted = True
else:
  admitted = False

You don't have to set "age = 13" to your program. The test will check with different values of age

I have indented the code properly in my workspace, but when I copy paste it here, it would show is as one line.

As others have commented, you should indent your code properly.
