// 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; }

OR you could use elseif syntax, for condition, you would type ($studentOneName == 3.8), but in that case, the answer would not be very coherent to the challenge requirement.
