Bummer! Make sure you add the else blocks.

I have added the else blocks, what went wrong?

index.php
<?php
$studentOneName = 'Dave';
$studentOneGPA = 3.8;

$studentTwoName = 'Treasure';
$studentTwoGPA = 4.0;

//Place your code below this comment
if ($studentOneGPA == 4.0){ echo  $studentOneName." made the Honor Roll"; } 
else if ($studentOneGPA != 4.0){ echo  $studentOneName." has a ".$studentOneGPA." of 4.0"; } 
else if ($studentTwoGPA == 4.0) { echo  $studentTwoName." made the Honor Roll"; } 
else { echo  $studentTwoName." has a ".$studentTwoGPA." of 4.0"; }  
?>

By using one if statement you are only ever going to print about the first student, not the second. So use 2 if statements, one for each student. Your Strings are also wrong.

<?php
$studentOneName = 'Dave';
$studentOneGPA = 3.8;

$studentTwoName = 'Treasure';
$studentTwoGPA = 4.0;

//Place your code below this comment
if ($studentOneGPA == 4.0){ echo  $studentOneName." made the Honor Roll"; } 
else { echo  $studentOneName . " has a GPA of " . $studentOneGPA; }

if ($studentTwoGPA == 4.0) { echo  $studentTwoName." made the Honor Roll"; } 
else { echo  $studentTwoName." has a GPA of ".$studentTwoGPA; }  
?>
