I keep getting message OOPS task on is no longer passing?

I cant seem to get past this section to continue on with the training. I believe that my code is correct. Any help/direction will be appreciated.

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

Hi there Anne, in python, blocks of code are specified by indentation. If you were using JavaScript, you would put curly braces around a block of code. However, in python, blocks of code are specified by just using indentation so python knows which code belongs to what. In your code, the else block is indented inside the if block and shouldn't be. If an else and if are part of the same conditional statement, they should be indented to the same level. Here is how it should look:

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

If you have any other questions, please leave a comment.

Thanks,

Haider

Hey Anne,

While the code is correct, the indentation is off. Python is indent specific when it comes to programming syntax. Right now, the way you have it written, the else clause is inside the if statement. You want the else to be on its own. Just remove the indent on your else clause.

Hope that helps. Keep Coding. :dizzy:
