<?php
//Place your code below this comment $integerOne = 1; $integerTwo = 2; $floatOne = 1.5; $integerOne = $integerOne + 5; $integerTwo = $integerTwo - 1; var_dump ($integerOne); var_dump ($integerTwo); $sum = $integerOne * $floatOne; var_dump ($sum); echo "$sum"; ?>
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo = 2;
$floatOne = 1.5;
$integerOne = $integerOne + 5;
$integerTwo = $integerTwo - 1;
var_dump ($integerOne);
var_dump ($integerTwo);
$sum = $integerOne * $floatOne;
var_dump ($sum);
echo "$sum";
?>

Treehouse TeacherHi there! The challenge is expecting you display exactly one number, but you are also using a series of var_dump which is displaying those values as well along with other information about the variables.
Take a look at the Bummer! message:
Bummer! Make sure you use "echo" instead of "var_dump"
Erasing all the lines with the var_dump causes your code to pass the final step. Hope this helps!
