This will work to complete both challenges:

admitted = None


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

Thanks!

none of these answers are working for me

Task 1

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.


Great, we are provided with an age variable, so we don't want to reassign that, but just check for it's value in our if statement. Then, if age is greater than or equal to (>=) thirteen we want to assign admitted a Boolean value of True. In code that would look something like:

if age >= 13:
    admitted = True

Does that make sense? Post back if you are still stuck.

Happy coding,
Ken

that does not work for me

Can anyone help me what is wrong?

admitted = None

if age >= 13:
    admitted = True

I got it! I guess it was the question itself that I didn't get. Thanks a lot!!!

yup! the questions are not written correctly or I was reading it wrong.

Thanks Ken Alger, i get it now.

coffee shops!!!

me i still dont get it. is it possible to have a clue or a clear question in the help section.. cause searching g[for answers on google might create a reliance syndrome

admitted = None

if age >= 13:

admitted = True

else:

admitted = False

Why isn't true under colons?
