Isn't this code right?

Check if each student has a GPA of 4.0. If the student has a GPA of 4.0, use the student name variable to replace NAME when displaying the following line: NAME made the Honor Roll If the student's GPA is not equal to 4.0, use the student name variable to replace NAME AND the student GPA variable to replace STUDENT GPA when displaying the following line: NAME has a GPA of STUDENT GPA. This is correct

index.php 
<?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 $studentTwoName. ' ' . "has a GPA of".$studentTwoGPA;
}
?>

Khaleel,

The question is "if THE student, has a GPA of 4.0". This is wanting to test the GPA of each student. You need to write your code to test EACH students GPA.

If either studentOne has a 4.0 GPA, echo "made the honor roll", else echo their GPA. Then, test the same for studentTwo.

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 ;
}

this code worked for me, pay attention on the spacing between the veriables.

<?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 ;
}

?>
