Why it is not working? keeps asking me for more else blocks.

I don't understand why it doesn't work, I have tried many things and this is the last one. any ideas?

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";
} elseif ($studentTwoGPA == 4.0){
  echo "$studentTwoName made the Honor Roll";
} elseif($studentOneGPA != 4.0){ 
  echo "$studentOneName has a GPA of $studentOneGPA";
}else {
  echo "$studetnTwoName has a GPA of $studentTwoGPA";
}
?>

Hey Vasil Dajko ,

You have to print the details of both users.In your code you are using ifelse condition which is OK but it will print the details of one user only.

So you need to do something like this

$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;
}

Hi Vasil,

What's happening is you're trying to combine all the checks in one condition statement.

You need more than one else block in the code challenge and you can do this is if seperate each check into a single if statement.

Good luck :)

Thank you both, finally i did it with two if statements. I was thinking it should be done in one.
