What is wrong with my code for Conditionals Task 1?

I am not sure where I have gone wrong in my code and cannot rectify it. The hints suggest I need to compare if $studentOneGPA is equal to 4.0 which I thought I had done. Is there an error or have I misunderstood the question somewhere?

index.php 
<?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";
}
 else {
  echo "$studentOneName has a GPA of $studentOneGPA";
}

if ($studentTwoGPA == '4.0') { 
  echo "$studentTwoName made the Honor Roll";
}
 else {
  echo "$studentTwoName has a GPA of $studentTwoGPA";
}


?>

The if statement didn't need single quotation marks around the 4.0. It passed when they were removed.
