Setting Variable To True If

I guess I am completely lost on this one.

conditions.py 
admitted = None
age = 13
admitted is True if (age) >= 13

The challenge is make the variable True if the age is 13 or more.

Hi Andrew,

In that challenge the 'age' variable will be set for you, no need to define / assign it. The conditional logic you have is OK, but the syntax is a bit off. Perhaps try something like:

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

Hope that helps. Keep coding :)

Is the challenge asking you to use an if conditional?

I believe the code should look similar to this.

if age>= (insert minimum age here) (insert the outcome ie 'x =true')

I actually done this challenge earlier... so I am still a newbie as well. however I believe that the instructor already set the variable 'age' behind the scenes. so in short, renaming the variable age is against the challenge.

also the if statement should read similar to this: if age is >= to 13 admitted = True.
