Wrong process?

Why am I passing section 2 then when applying the same code to section 3 I am told that my previous (section 2) work no longer works? <?php

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

$integerOne = $integerOne + 5; $integerTwo = $integerTwo - 1; var_dump($integerOne);

$integerOne = $integerOne * $floatOne; var_dump($integerOne);

?>

index.php 
<?php

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

$integerOne = $integerOne + 5;
$integerTwo = $integerTwo - 1;
var_dump($integerOne);

$integerOne = $integerOne * $floatOne;
var_dump($integerOne);

?>

Hi

You just need to echo the last bit out instead of overriding your $integerOne variable also remove your other var_dump.

echo $integerOne * $floatOne

Why wouldn't var_dump produce the same result?
