Help on Challenge Task.

I am trying to complete a challenge task in the Python beginner course which has this text: I'm going to create a variable named age. I need you to make an if condition that sets admitted to True if age is 13 or more. It does not accept the code that I have included here. Please help!

conditions.py 
admitted = None
age = None
if age > 13:
    admitted = True

Hi there! First, the challenge is going to set the value of age, and your code is going to test it. By having the age = None you are writing over what they're sending in, so you can safely remove that line. Also, your code should test if the age is 13 or more. But you're currently testing to only see if the age is more than 13. The person should also be admitted if they are 13.

Take another shot with these hints in mind, but let me know if you're still stuck! :sparkles:
