Create a new variable name $isIdentical. Compare the variable $a as identical (equal AND of the same type) as the string

Hi Leanne,

You are more or less on the right track, but there seems to be a few things going wrong here. First, a good note to remember is that instructions for challenges need to be followed exactly as they are written.

With that in mind, the first thing is I no longer see the comment that was there that instructed you to:

//Place your code below this comment

You have some code that is out-of-place and may crash the challenge.

Second, you have created a variable $booleanOne that was not asked for, so this will need to be deleted.

Third, the instructions asked for the boolean true to be assigned to $isBoolean, but you have assigned the String "true", and also to the wrong variable.
Note: once you add quotation marks, everything inside the quotes becomes a string.

Finally, the result of the comparison needs to be stored in the variable $isIdentical.

I don't normally post the correct solution, but I feel with the above explanations, seeing the corrected code will be of the most learning benefit.

<?php
$a = 5;
//Place your code below this comment
$isBoolean = true;
$isIdentical = $a === "5";
?>

I hope this helps. Keep Coding! :)
