What did I wrong?

It always shows: Bummer! Are you sure you multiplied right?

index.php 
<?php

//Place your code below this comment

$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo = 2;

$integerOne = 1 + 5;
$integerTwo = 2 - 1;

$floatOne = 1.5;

var_dump($integerOne * $floatOne);

?>

If you change your "var_dump" to an "echo", it should pass :)

There is nothing wrong with your code, you are just simply using var_dump instead of echo to print to the screen.

When you are trying to find some hidden information such as values inside a $_POST variable or database then I would use var_dump() however for printing things to the screen which is the case here, then use echo
