Why is showing Bummer! invalid syntax (<string>, line 1)

admitted = None age = 14 if age >= 13: ... admitted = True ...

Hello, considering the task, why it keeps showing me that "Bummer! invalid syntax (<string>, line 1)". I tried at the workspace, it works perfectly with my code above. Thanks in advance.

conditions.py 
>>> admitted = None
>>> age = 14
>>> if age >= 13:
...    admitted = True
...
>>>print(admitted)
