10,573 PointsHow can i create separate if statement?
<?php $studentOneName = 'Dave'; $studentOneGPA = 3.8;
$studentTwoName = 'Treasure'; $studentTwoGPA = 4.0;
//Place your code below this comment if ($studentOneGPA == 4.0) { echo "$studentOneName made the Honor Roll"; } elseif ($studentOneGPA < 4.0) { echo "$studentOneName has a GPA of $studentOneGPA "; }
if ($studentTwoGPA == 4.0) { echo "$studentTwoName made the Honor Roll"; } elseif ($studentTwoGPA < 4.0) { echo "$studentTwoName has a GPA of $studentTwoGPA"; }
?>

Convert the "elseif"s to ordinary "else"s to pass the challenge.

231,184 PointsSimply change the "elseif"s to "else" (and remove the conditional clause). For example:
<?php
//...
} elseif ($studentOneGPA < 4.0) { // instead of this
} else { // you would have this

10,573 PointsHi I received the error if I change to "else"
Bummer: syntax error, unexpected 'echo' (T_ECHO) in index.php on line 12

231,184 PointsPerhaps your conversion was incomplete. Don't forget that a plain "else" does not take a conditional expression.
