If else

I'm going to create a variable named age.

I need you to make an if condition that sets admitted to True if age is 13 or more

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

Hi Conary Beckford! I received your request for assistance. Right now, you're trying to check if the value of admitted is greater than or equal to 13, but you should be checking if the variable age is greater than or equal to 13. The parentheses around your in your if statement are causing a syntax error and should be removed, but again admitted should be changed to age. To be clear, the age variable will be created and assigned a number by Treehouse. This is not something you need to take care of yourself.

After you determine if age is greater than or equal to 13, you then need to set admitted to the boolean value of True. Instead, you are printing the string "True".

I think you can get it with these hints, but let me know if you're still stuck! :sparkles:

Still no luck:

admitted = None if age >= 13: print("True") else: print("False")

Again, you're not supposed to print anything. Take a look:

admitted = True

Give it another shot! :sparkles:
