Having trouble multiplying

The test is saying Bummer! Are you sure you are multiplying correctly? I don't know what my error is in trying to multiply integerOne and floatOne (without changing their value)

<?php

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

$integerOne = $integerOne + 5; var_dump ($integerOne); $integerTwo--; var_dump ($integerTwo);

$floatOne = 1.5; var_dump ($integerOne * $floatOne);

?>

index.php
<?php

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



$integerOne = $integerOne + 5; 
var_dump ($integerOne); 
$integerTwo--;
  var_dump ($integerTwo);

$floatOne = 1.5;
var_dump ($integerOne * $floatOne);

?>

It just asks you to display the results. You can just use echo instead of var_dump.
