I don't know what's wrong with this code.
if admitted = None:
age < 13
else age >= 13

admitted = False
if age >= 13:
Then what? Then if that condition passes, you need to set admitted to True:
admitted = False
if age >= 13:
admitted = True
Erik Luo
3,810 PointsRight, thank you, that worked. Is confusing because it says you can't change the first line, and the first line is admitted = None.
David Bath
25,940 PointsWell, None and False are both considered "falsey", so it should work just as well if you used None. But you also need to use the correct logic for the rest of it.

3,810 PointsThe next task I got is to "add an else to your if. In the else, set admitted to False." I added "else admitted = False" and it tells me that task 1 is no longer passing. Why is that?

David Bath
25,940 PointsWell, I'd have to see your code, but make sure you're putting a colon after "else".

3,810 PointsThe challenge task is: I'm going to create a variable named age. I need you to make an if condition that sets admitted to True if age is 13 or more.
