If a=None, but b is not defined, how do you write a conditional statement comparing all values of b to make a true?

Help?

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

Hi Brian,

In this challenge, we are just writing code for the condition--it's assumed the variable age is already named and given a value. Recall that a boolean value is either True or False, and note only one "=" is used to assign a value to a variable. See the first video. The value None just represents the absence of a value. I hope this helps.

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