Check if each student has a GPA of 4.0

I keep getting: Bummer! Incorrect output

What am I doing 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 Role";
    } else {
        echo "$studentOneName has a GPA of $studentOneGPA";
    }

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

?>
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 Role";
    } else {
        echo "$studentOneName has a GPA of $studentOneGPA";
    }

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

?>

Try "roll" instead of "role" :)

I thought it was probably something right in front of my eyes. That's what I get for copy/paste.

Thank you.

Hi Greg,

I just tried the quiz and the output was a little buggy for some reason but the following code worked...

<?php

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";
}

?>

Hope this helps :) Craig
