Courses Plus Student 216 Pointsmultiply integer by float
Multiply $integerOne by $floatOne and display the results ??? $integerOne = 6; $floatOne = 1.5;
<?php
$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo = 2;
$floatOne = 1.5;
$integerOne += 5;
echo $integerOne;
$integerTwo--;
echo $integerTwo;
echo $floatOne * $integerOne ;
?>

9,260 Pointsyou need to create a new variable and then assign it $integerOne * $floatOne
Like so:
<?php
//Place your code below this comment
$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo = 2;
$floatOne = 1.5;
$integerOne = $integerOne + 5;
$integerTwo = $integerTwo - 1;
$multiply = $integerOne * $floatOne;
echo $multiply;
?>

Let me know if this helps here

9,260 Pointsthe above code I did actually passed the challenge, I guess you marked it down as not worthy?

70,280 PointsBased on what the tasks say to do I don't think your answer is that great. It's all good, tho.

9,260 Pointsas mentioned only include what the task is asking for, which is what the solution above does. If you think its bad, then why not elaborate and provide an answer.....

70,280 PointsThe third task never asks for a new variable to be created. It just asks for the multiplication to be echo'd out.

9,260 Pointsit may have not mentioned to create a new variable but least it's held in a variable so that it makes it easier to read, just my approach to doing it.
