Courses Plus Student 26,868 PointsHi Nick.
First, all your echo output has an extra space at the end, they will cause mismatch error w/ the test cases used by the grader.
Secondly, "NAME has a GPA of GPA", for the 2nd GPA in the echo message, the challenge actually wants you to replace it w/ the student GPA variable $. I admit the wording here is very confusing, and took me a while to figure that out too.
So the corrected version of your code looks like this
<?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";
}
?>
hope it helps.
