<?php
//Place your code below this comment
$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo = 2;
var_dump ($integerOne + 5);
$integerTwo = --$integerTwo;
var_dump ($integerTwo);

9,389 PointsHi Kumbirai Ruth Huni,
Well if you are trying to pass this challenge you shouldn't use var_dump() function it's ussually for testing purposes. For the first task you have done well, You have assign values to $integerOne and $integerTwo
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
// Assigned values to variable $integerOne and $integerTwo
$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo = 2;
?>
For the Task 2 it asks to Add 5 to $integerOne. Subtract 1 from $integerTwo. Which is something like this.
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
// Assigned values to variable $integerOne and $integerTwo
$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo = 2;
// Add 5 to $integerOne
$integerOne += 5;
// Subtract 1 from $integerTwo
$integerTwo -= 1;
?>
And lastly Task 3 asks us to Create a New Float Variable named $floatOne with a value of 1.5. Without changing the value of $integerOne or $floatOne, multiply $integerOne by $floatOne and display the results. Which is something like this.
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
// Assigned values to variable $integerOne and $integerTwo
$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo = 2;
// Add 5 to $integerOne
$integerOne += 5;
// Subtract 1 from $integerTwo
$integerTwo -= 1;
// New float varaible $floatOne with a value of 1.5
$floatOne = 1.5;
// Without changing the value of $integerOne or $floatOne, multiply $integerOne by $floatOne and display the results
echo $integerOne * $floatOne;
// You can check your displayed value by pressing "Preview" button which is in right top corner next to "Check Work" and "Get Help"
// Because you are using "echo" command you can actually see results in preview.
?>
I hope this helps you to better understand this challenge.
