Hey Francois,

You're almost there.

-First, the challenge never asked for a var_dump, so that line needs to be deleted.

-Second, the challenge didn't ask for a variable named $value to be created.

-Last, you will need to use the print() method to "display the results" as per the instructions for Task 3.

Your multiplication is correct, but it is being assigned to a value instead of being displayed. Give it another go with this in mind. If you're still stuck, just leave a comment here.

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:
