It should say:
$results = $integerOne * $floatOne;

8,396 PointsHello Austin,
Your method is a valid one, however you accidentally placed the variable $results
at the wrong end of the statement (see below):
$results = $floatOne * $integerOne;
echo $results;
This works fine, but I simply echoed the entire statement like this:
echo $floatOne * $integerOne;
Hope this helps :)
