766 PointsTask One error message
When I am doing review questions, when i answer the first step correctly and go onto the next step I am told my Task one is no longer passing even though I have not changed it. What is happening?
admitted = None
if age >= 13:
admitted = True
else:
admitted = False

47,912 PointsTask one is no longer passing because you introduced a syntax error. Remember that Python knows what code goes with what other code by how far it's indented. Right now, Python sees an if statement with a valid line right afterwards, but then it sees an else statement and a line in that block that's entirely detached from everything else, with no if statement before it. Make sure that the else block is indented the same amount as the if statement it goes with, and that the code within the 2 blocks are indented the same amount as each other, too.
Also, note that code that looks like this isn't really good in a real program. If you're making an actual project outside of Treehouse, if you ever see yourself just assigning a boolean variable based on some comparison, it's better to assign the boolean directly from the variable, like this:
admitted = age >= 13
