am failing to get the implied sense from the error message

there is a question about if statements which needs to have two variable with one having none being supposed to be true

conditions.py 
admitted = None
age = 10
if age >= 13:
    # moderator redacted print statement for inappropriate content
    print("...")
    elif admitted < age:
        print("Still a young fella!")

Hey Claninos! Your a little off topic here, it dosent really seem that youve followed the instructions, Your code really dosent have anything to do with what the challenge is asking you to, ill try to break it down here:

  • Create an if statement that check if age <= 13
  • If that is the case set the variable admitted to True
  • Add an else statement that sets admitted to false, if its not bigger than or equal to 13 Lastly, dont create the age variable yourself, it has already been created. Ive posted the correct solution below, but try to solve it yourself before looking at it: Please write back if you need more help!
