When I enter the correct code for task 3 it says "task 2 is no longer correct"

The code is attached. Everything works perfectly, then when I add the last line of code, it says that the rest is no longer correct.

index.php 
<?php

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

?>

Hi there! You've got the right idea, but at the end of Task 2 the value of $integerOne should be 6. Step 3 does not ask you to alter the value of $integerOne but rather simply display the results of $integerOne times $floatOne.

So, if I erase $integerOne = from your echo line, we can get rid of that error.

When that is done, you will get a Bummer! about using var_dump and you will need to erase the var_dump from your code while keeping the assignments the same.

:bulb: Challenges are very strict and checking for specific things. Try not to do anything the challenge doesn't explicitly ask for. If it doesn't say to print something or to var_dump it, it's best not to. Even if functional outside the challenge, it can cause the challenge to fail.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

Thanks. Right after I put this up I realized the problems and corrected them. Then I felt like an idiot. LOL.
