You need to check if the variable is equal to 4.0 --> [$variable == 4.0] than you will pass the challenge.. : )

You are checking if its equal to === 4 which means strictly equal (Same datatype and value) so then you need to check === 4.0. (If using === 4 it means that its equal to 4 and its an integer not a float with decimal points)

Or you can just use two equal signs: == 4
