in the first part of this challenge would you use var_dump to check if each student's GPA is equal to 4.0?

Not sure what it is asking?

Should I start by:

var_dump ($studentOneGPA == 4.0); var_dump ($studentTwoGPA == 4.0);

It seems obvious just by looking at the provided code. Not sure how to proceed.

index.php
<?php
$studentOneName = 'Dave';
$studentOneGPA = 3.8;

$studentTwoName = 'Treasure';
$studentTwoGPA = 4.0;

//Place your code below this comment

?>

It wants 2 if statements to check if the GPA is 4.0 For example the first statement would be:

<?php
if ($studentOneGpa == 4.0){
echo $studentOneName;
}
?>
