Sorry, I don't understand the question, what is it that you want to do? Also more context on the question would be great :)

Sorry, forgot to add the question. Challenge Task 1 of 2

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.

Kay i got you. admitted = None admitted is None True age = 13 if age >= 13: ... admitted == None ... else: ... admitted != None ... True

Regarding what you written here, if the question wants you to set admitted to True then why are you using == to None once you state the condition age >= 13 just write admitted = True
