26,806 PointsCheck if each student has a GPA of 4.0. If the student has a GPA of 4.0, use the students name variable to display "NA
<?php
$studentOneName = 'Dave';
$studentOneGPA = 3.8;
$studentTwoName = 'Treasure';
$studentTwoGPA = 4.0;
//Place your code below this comment
if($studentOneName == 4.0 ){
$studentOneName. " made the Honor Role";
} else {$studentOneName. " has a GPA of ". $studentOneGPA }
if ($studentTwoName === 4.0){
$studentTwoName. " made the Honor Role";
} else {$studentTwoName. " has a GPA of ". $studentOneGPA }
?>
Why is this code no good this should work
<?php
$studentOneName = 'Dave';
$studentOneGPA = 3.8;
$studentTwoName = 'Treasure';
$studentTwoGPA = 4.0;
//Place your code below this comment
?>

16,198 PointsI have the same problem. I tried to use all of the proposed codes but it says "Bummer! fail"
Juan Ignacio Lambardi
3,943 PointsHi Orest did you tryed with the code I left above?
Orest Ivasyk
16,198 PointsHi, Juan. Yes I tried all versions I had found on the forum and even internet. Every time I get one error, think it's a problem on "veryfication system"((
Orest Ivasyk
16,198 PointsSure, here is a screenshot of browser http://imgur.com/a/aTGGb

Treehouse TeacherHiya Orest Ivasyk! They've modified the spelling in this challenge since it was originally posted, which is why your echo statements are not working. The correct spelling is "Honor Roll" ... not "Honor Role". So using the code posted above won't work. That code was only valid before they changed the spelling of "Role" to "Roll". Hope this helps!

16,198 PointsWow, Jennifer you're right! Thank you both so much! I really appreciate you lost your time on me.

3,943 PointsThe problem is that you're NOT "echo" the first else statement, and you're using single quotes for calling a variable value. So try this: insert an "echo" in the first else statement and call the $studentOneGPA variable without quotes. Let me know!! and good luck. \\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 ' . $studentOneGPA; } if ( $studentTwoGPA == 4.0 ) { echo $studentTwoName. ' made the Honor Role'; } else { echo $studentTwoName . ' has a GPA of ' . $studentTwoGPA; } ?>

16,198 PointsYes, It works for me when I fixed 'The correct spelling is "Honor Roll" ... not "Honor Role".' and added 'echo'. Thank you.
