Hi! .. Please help! Why doesn't my code work? It displays an error: "Are you sure you are multiplying correctly?"

Here is my php code:

<?php

//Place your code below this comment $integerOne = 1; $integerTwo = 2; $integerOne = $integerOne + 5; --$integerTwo; $floatOne = 1.5; $result = $integerOne * $floatOne; echo "The result is: $result";

?>

Hi there! Your code does work. But it's a little fancier than what they asked for :smiley: In the last echo where you're displaying the result, they just want it to print out the number. You are echoing out a "The result is: "which is causing the challenge to fail. So if I copy/paste your code and just change the last echo, it passes! Take a look:

echo $result;

:information_source: It's always a good idea when doing these challenges to try not to do anything they don't explicitly ask for. Even if functional, it can cause the challenge to fail.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
