895 PointsStuck on question, how to change admitted=None to become true
I have been struggling with this question for sometime an can't get it to work correctly. The problem I am having is admitted=None which i believe none = false if I am correct, I have tried creating a variable name age ie. age = 20 then and if statement if age > 13 print true the error message i cant seem to get around is when i try to manipulate the original variable of admitted it is stating you cant add or subtract None from and integer or float. I understand that but I am not sure how to get around this question, I have been stuck on it for over a day. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Greg
admitted=None
age=20
if age >13:
print(True)

You're doing everything right, except that all you're doing if the person is old enough is printing "True" to the console - that won't change admitted!
Also, you don't need to set age to anything. Kenneth says he is going to create a variable age, so drop that line and skip straight to the if statement.
Instead don't print anything, and just go ahead and just set admitted equal to True. You can do it
Cheers
