What's wrong with this if statement (challenge task in Python Basics). I get an error that "admitted` is not False."

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

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

Hey Jerry,

Although the first step allows you to pass with quotation marks around True, you need to remove them from False in order for the challenge to allow you to pass.

The following code will pass:

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

Good luck with the course!
