Courses Plus Student 780 PointsWhat am I missing here
Can anyone explain how I can do this...
<?php
$studentOneName = 'Dave';
$studentOneGPA = 3.8;
$studentTwoName = 'Treasure';
$studentTwoGPA = 4.0;
//Place your code below this comment
if($studentOneGPA = 4.0) {
echo "$studentOneName made the Honor Roll";
} else {
echo "$studentOneName has a GPA of $studentOneGPA";
}
if($studentTwoGPA = 4.0) {
echo "$studentTwoName made the Honor Roll";
} else {
echo "$studentTwoName has a GPA of $studentTwoGPA";
}
?>
