Treehouse TeacherYou're very close here! As you know there are many services that require you to be 13 years or older to use. Mostly American-based. Examples are Facebook, Steam, and the creation of an Apple ID. All we're asking here is if the user is thirteen years or older. But they made the age variable for you in advance outside of your code. And the guys and gals at Treehouse are going to send values into the age variable to test it. So your code should work for any value they send. Here's the code you need:
admitted = None
if age >= 13:
admitted = True
Here we start by setting admitted to None. Then we check the age. If the person is age thirteen or older we set admitted to True. This translates into us allowing them access to our hypothetical services somewhere else in our code.
Hope that helps!
