  • Add an else to your if.
  • In the else, set admitted to False.

Remember to add : after if and else statements + don't forget to indent correctly

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

But isn't this correct Henrik? It already has an else statement to false. and indented

looks like you are forgetting colons ( : )

example of if-statement

# this is just an example
if num == 250:  # notice the : at the end
    print('Something random')  # notice the indentation
else:  # notice the : at the end (again)
    print('Another random text')  # this needs to be indented too

admitted = None

if age >= 13:
    admitted = True
else:
    admitted = False
