Treehouse StaffThere are a few errors with you code:
- You needed to build conditional statements for both students.
- In your conditional statements you surrounded the variables in quotes, only the string text goes in the quotes. If you surround a variable in quotes it gets parsed into plain text.
- You needed to output the variables data with the text strings via concatenation with a period between them.
<?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;
}
?>

2,025 PointsThis was the Questions:
Check if each student has a GPA of 4.0. If the student has a GPA of 4.0, use the student's name variable to display "NAME made the Honor Roll". If not, use the variable to display "NAME has a GPA of GPA".
