Contrary to popular beliefs (and in my personal opinion), if you have zero coding experience coming in, Python is the worst to start with.
I would recommend at least completing the Digital Literacy Track and then moving on to the Front-End Development Track.
These together will give you the base needed to move on to whichever language you find passion with. I've been doing this for over a year now, am proficient in multiple languages, and I still can't deal with Python.
So, don't fret. Just start slow and Keep Coding! :)

10,116 PointsThe task is asking you to run the code if age is greater than or equal to 13. Once you fix that operator, you have to reassign the "admitted" variable, not print "True".
