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

like so
$integerOne += 5;
Since you're not actually storing the value, when the Challenge checks $integerOne
and expects to see 6
it's still returning 1
