805 PointsProblem with the Conditionals challenge
it keeps telling me to add else blocks. Can't seem to see what I'm doing wrong
<?php
$studentOneName = 'Dave';
$studentOneGPA = 3.8;
$studentTwoName = 'Treasure';
$studentTwoGPA = 4.0;
//Place your code below this comment
if ($studentOneGPA ==4.0){
echo "$studentOneName made the Honor Roll";
}
elseif ($studentTwoGPA == 4.0){
"$studentTwoName has made the Honor Roll";
}
elseif($studentOneGPA != 4.0) {
"$studentOneName has a GPA of $studentTwoGPA";
}
else{
"$studentTwoName has a GPA of $studentOneGPA";
}
?>

20,885 Pointsyou have got 2 students
one - 4.0 two - 3.8
condition - check ALL students, whom have made honor, if it is 4.0, or else need not have to specifically 3.8, it could be anything where the code at present does not know what is the other s value
when you start an if with studentOne, the else if, should also should check studentOne.
best case would be to have 2 separate if's within each if, checking one student per if, and else, I think you should not use else if

805 PointsI have figured it out and solved the challenge. Each student was to be treated as a seperate case scenario and as such would have seperate if and else blocks.
