Multiply $integerOne by $floatOne and show the results

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

index.php 
<?php

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

To solve the 3rd challenge, I stored the multiplication in a new "results" variable

<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo = 2;
$floatOne = 1.5;

//Add or Subtract from integers
$integerOne=($integerOne + 5);
$integerTwo=($integerTwo - 1);

//Multiply $integerOne by $floatOne and display the results
$results = $integerOne * $floatOne;
echo $results;

?>

Just omit the var_dump function. Any reason why you do that?

$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo = 2;
$floatOne = 1.5;
$integerOne += 5;
$integerTwo -= 1;
echo $floatOne * $integerOne;
