Hi guys, please take a look at the snippet I have included, 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 Roll"; } else { echo "$studentOneName has a $studentOneGPA of $studentOneGPA"; }

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

?>

Here's the code challenge-description: "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".

I keep getting the error message "incorrect output".

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot!

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 {
  echo "$studentOneName has a $studentOneGPA of $studentOneGPA";
}

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

you are doing right but you don't have to give the value to first GPA write as it is

echo "$studentOneName has a GPA of $studentOneGPA";

echo "$studentTwoName has a GPA of $studentTwoGPA";
