I dont understand why it isnt working :(

Why am i getting wrong Output?

index.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 Roll \n";
}  
else {
  echo "$studentOneName has a $studentOneGPA GPA \n";

Hi Jonathan,

Syntactically, your code is 100% correct. However the instructions for the challenges are very specific, and the code checker is extremely picky. So, you are receiving the Bummer because you aren't outputting the sentence exactly as the instructions ask for.
It wants "NAME has a GPA of STUDENT GPA"
But you have "NAME has a STUDENT GPA GPA"

Just fix that up and everything else is great! :)

Keep Coding! :dizzy:
