If takes an expression leads to boolean value between ()

your code missed (, it should be:

if (int(age) < 18)

It appears that the if keyword may be indented when you don't need it to be. On StackOverflow - the code may look correct, but on you editor, it is possible that it isn't. In Python, indentation matters. It's how the program knows when one block of code is done OR if a block of code is associated with another part.
