9,260 Pointson the else statement, you cannot put a condition as if the if / else if are false then it will go straight to the else for the false condition to output what is required.
your code:
else($studentTwoGPA !== 4.0){
echo "$studentTwoName has a GPA of $studentTwoGPA";
}
corrected code:
else{
echo "$studentTwoName has a GPA of $studentTwoGPA";
}

Courses Plus Student 3,979 PointsMy code got lost after I completed the challenge but I made two separate IF statements and removed the additional condition statements. The directions REALLY arent clear on that one. I thought it wanted one big IF/ ELSE that would do it all.
