Why is this not working

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

whats wrong with that

conditions.py 
admitted = None
age = 13
if age is 13:
    admitted = True
else:
    admitted = False

  • don't set age yourself, the challenge will do that
  • instead of an identity test ("is"), try testing for "greater than or equal" (">=")

If you actually set age yourself you can get passed the first part of the challenge even though it's not correct. Maybe it should be looked at. Kenneth Love
