Challenge is failing me but my code works just fine :-)

Just trying to be DRY here, come on!

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

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

//Place your code below this comment

echoGpa($studentOneName, $studentOneGPA); echoGpa($studentTwoName, $studentTwoGPA);

function echoGpa( $name, $gpa ) { if( $gpa == 4.0) { echo "$name made the Honor Roll\n"; } else { echo "$name has a GPA of $gpa\n"; } }

?>

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

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




//Place your code below this comment


echoGpa($studentOneName, $studentOneGPA);
echoGpa($studentTwoName, $studentTwoGPA);

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

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

*/

function echoGpa( $name, $gpa ) {
  if( $gpa == 4.0) {
   echo "$name made the Honor Roll\n";
  } else {
    echo "$name has a GPA of $gpa\n"; 
  }
}

Hi Hans I think the problem might be with the 2nd student:

echo "$studentTwoName has a GPA of $studentOneGPA\n";

Should be:

echo "$studentTwoName has a GPA of $studentTwoGPA\n";

Hey Hans,

Martin is correct in the misnaming of the variable. But also, the challenge is not passing because the code you are submitting is not what the instructions ask for.

The instructions did not ask for a function. So, if you delete the function entirely, delete the two lines that are calling the function, and uncomment the other lines of code (with Martin's correction), the challenge will pass.

In Treehouse challenges, the instructions are specific and if not followed explicitly, you will receive the Bummer!. So, just fix those up and you're good to go.

Keep Coding! :dizzy: :)
