Task 2 of 3: Add an "Addition" method, either annotated or named for a test.

I've tried multiple ways to try to solve this, rewatching the video, changing placements, changing uppercase and lowercase. Doesn't seem to work. May I have some help, please?

index.php 
<?php
class MathTest extends PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase
{ 
  /** @test */
  function testAddition
  {
  }
}

?>

Hi there, Muhammed Akeel Jagot ! It looks like you're doing great! However, the code you have is missing something that is resulting in a syntax error. Namely, it is missing a set of parentheses. To declare a function, it must include parentheses:

function testAddition() {

}

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase; class MathTest extends TestCase { /** test / function testAddition() { /$result = 2 + 2; $this->assertEquals(4, $result);*/ } }

  • adding parentheses does not pass as well
