Please help me with the following code...

I have the following code... and I got the Incorrect output error message...:

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

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


if ($studentOneGPA == 4.0) {
    echo "$studentOneName made the Honor Roll";
} else {
    echo "$studentOneName has a GPA of GPA";
}

if ($studentTwoGPA == 4.0) {
    echo "$studentTwoName made the Honor Roll";

try this : else { echo "$studentTwoName has a GPA of $studentTwoGPA"; } ? Since the correct output is in $studentTwoGPA this should pass(be sure to do the same for the output for $studentOneName)

Hi Andras,

You aren't passing the students' GPA value (by using the variable) in the else statements. The output should have the students' actual GPAs, not just the string "GPA."

Give it another go with this in mind. Everything else looks good. :)

Keep Coding! :dizzy:

Dear Douglas and Jason!

Thank you very much! :) I can not believe how unperceptive I was... :)

Have a nice day! Andras
