It looks right but...?

I've done it again, hit the stupid block. This looks right, I got the first part of the challenge..? No syntax errors and the logic seems OK for the challenge. Help?

conditions.py 
admitted = none
if age >=13:
  admitted = "true"
else:
  admitted = "false"

And you don´t need the quotation marks to assign a boolean value like True or False.

You need them for Strings

Hi Carole,

try this code:

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

True, False and None are uppercased :)

Thank you Grigori! I knew it had to be something stupid and felt bad to ask such a simple question but I also did not want to stare at it for days while I could be learning more!

I appreciate your help!!

Where are you from? Your first name looks Russian or Slavic and your last German. I enjoy meeting people from many cultures.

I really want to learn programming. I wish it was more second nature for me!

I live in the state of West Virginia, USA. Very rural and mountainous. I am an older learner who tired to learn programming many years ago but let speed bumps and lack of confidence stop me. I won't do that this time.

Best of luck on your fellowship! What is it in?
