Create a new variable name $booleanTwo. Set $booleanTwo equal to the result of comparing the variable $a as IDENTICAL to the string "5".

For part 2, the challenge wants to you create a new variable named $booleanTwo, it's also a Boolean whose value is assigned by comparing whether $a (defined in line 2) equals to String "5".

<?php
$a = 5;
//Place your code below this comment
$booleanOne = true;       // part 1

$booleanTwo = $a == "5";  // part 2
?>

Hope it helps.
