Your code is syntactically correct. If you ran it on a server or dev environment, it would display a result. For this exercise, however, using var_dump may not be the best option for outputting your results. The code verifier accepts the code if you use an echo statement in place of var_dump like so:

<?php

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

$integerOne += 5; $integerTwo -= 1;

$floatOne = 1.5;

echo $integerOne * $floatOne; ?>
