In the quiz I'm supposed to create a variable named GermanyGDP and assign it a value of 3.4 trillion. I put this code in between the script tags in the body:
var GermanyGDP = 3.4E12;
and it said that the variable was not defined. What am I doing wrong?

the GermanyGDP gets defined to be 3400000000000
I think you do not have any mistake

Courses Plus Student 10,318 PointsThanks - I figured out what I was doing wrong. I put the answer in the body instead of the head. I put it in the head and it worked.
