I'm not understanding this question...

Not understanding what they are asking for here...

<?php $a = 5; //Place your code below this comment

$booleanOne = true; $booleanTwo "5";

var_dump($a === $booleanTwo);

?>

index.php
<?php
$a = 5;
//Place your code below this comment

$booleanOne = true;
$booleanTwo "5";

var_dump($a === $booleanTwo);

?>

Hi there! First, the vardump is not needed. Secondly, $booleanTwo should not be set to "5". It should be set to the comparison of $a and "5".

Here's an example: If I wanted to set a variable $y equal to the comparison of 10 and "10", I could write it this way:

$y = 10 === "10";

Give it another go with these hints in mind! Good luck! :sparkles:

Hey Walter,

You are on the right track, but the challenge did not ask you to var_dump. The first Task, you have correct, but the second task (which is essentially the same as the first) shouldn't have a var_dump. It only wants an assignment.

Below is the corrected code for you to review. I hope it makes sense. :) :dizzy:

<?php
$a = 5;
//Place your code below this comment
$booleanOne = true;
$booleanTwo = $a === "5";
?>

Keep Coding!

Thank you very much!
