1,775 PointsI did everything correct, same as the explanatory video, but kept getting a syntax error message in Console
My code: <?php
$hours = 40;
$productivity = 10.5;
$firstTotal = $hours * $productivity;
$hours++
$productivity-=.5;
$secondTotal = $hours * $productivity;
echo 'For example, if your original productivity accomplished is '; echo $firstTotal; echo ' and you add 1 hour, while at the same time subtracting .5 of productivity, your new productivity accomplished is only '; echo $secondTotal;
?>
The error message:
