How can I make admitted to False?

How to set admitted to False?

admitted = None
age = 14
if age >= 13:
    admitted = True
else:
    admitted = False

You have to change your age is less than 13, since that is your conditioning

Hey again Antonie,

the problem is the same like before: You don't have to set the age variable as this will be done automatically when the challenge is tested.

This should work:

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

Tobias Helmrich is absolutely correct. You do not need to set the age variable you just need to create the if statement that checks what the question is asking for... "make an if condition that sets admitted to True if age is 13 or more"

So just remove the part that it's not asking you to do (setting the age variable) and you are golden!

ps. make sure you give @Tobias Helmrich credit for the right answer ;)
