Reread the challenge. It is asking you to set admitted to True if age is greater than or equal to 13. Also, don't forget the colon after your condition.

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

Thank you! :D I will try this. My code (I thought) made sense, if greater or equal to 13 then set the variable to True. Still new, I will get the hang of it.

How come the following code is still not working? admitted = None if admitted >== 13 admitted = True

I was thinking that if admitted was greater or equal to 13 than the variable would be reassigned to 'True' I fixed the equal sign on the if condition but still notta

Instead of thinking about the code programmatically. Take a second to think about it logically or as if it's simple english. It doesn't make sense to check if admitted is greater than or equal to 13, but instead if age is greater than or equal to 13. In plain english, "If age is greater than or equal to 13 then admitted."
