Would you tell me where my answer is wrong?

I think my code is correct. Would you tell me where my answer is wrong?

index.php
<?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 Role.';
} else {
  echo $studentOneName . ' has a GPA of GPA.';
}

if ($studentTwoGPA === 4.0) {
  echo $studentTwoName . ' made the Honor Role.';
} else {
  echo $studentTwoName . ' has a GPA of GPA.';
}

?>

Christopher is right. Another thing is the strings the challenge asks for do not end with periods. So your strings would look like this "Dave made the Honor Role." while the challenge is asking for this "Dave made the Honor Role" I don't know if that affects the answer, but it's a difference. With Christopher's suggestion and a lack of punctuation in my strings, my code was accepted, so it should work for you.

They're asking your to add the gpa to the string on the failure condition.

 "has a GPA of  " . $studentOneGPA;
