Add 5 to $integerOne. Subtract 1 from $integerTwo.

Ok. I give up. the output (preview) has the correct answer int(6) int(1) However, the quiz gives me a bummer saying: "You haven't changed $integerOne" (Do what? - strange)

Add 5 to $integerOne. Subtract 1 from $integerTwo.

This is all of my code: <?php //Place your code below this comment $integerOne = 1; $integerTwo = 2; $floatOne = 1.5;

var_dump($integerOne + 5); var_dump($integerTwo - 1); ?>

index.php 
<?php

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

var_dump($integerOne + 5);
var_dump($integerTwo - 1);
?>

why have you used, var_dump, the question have not asked you to use var_dump, simply it had asked you to add 5 to the integerOne, and subtract 1 from integerTwo.

moreover, the value once it had added and subtracted on the respective variables, the variable containing the value, will have to change and hold on to the new value accordingly,
