It is correct.

Before you submit your answer, press the preview button and see what errors are displayed.

It shows float as invalid keyword

This is so weird.

This exact code worked for me:

int size = 13;

float foodPrice = 3.50;

which is the same as yours, so I don't know how this is possible.

Yea, There compiler is built to read specific string answers somehow It got solved now though
