Can someone see what mistake I am making?

I am not sure what is wrong with my code. Can someone help?

admitted = None

if age >= 13:
    admitted = "True"
else:
    admitted = "False"

Hi Mujahid,

The True and False aren't strings; they are boolean data types. Lose the inverted commas:

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