They want you to fill in the sentence with the real values using concatenation.

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

<?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 GPA of ". $studentOneGPA; }

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