“None” is a falsey value in Python. Admitted is set to none(false) prior to the if statement because we need a condition to change its value to true. The condition here would be the age. Only if the age greater than or equal to to 13, can admitted be changed.

Thanks for your response. I made a "rookie" mistake. Used "=>" instead of ">=". Got it after that.
