What am I doing wrong?

I keep getting the message to use echo instead of var_dump, but that doesn't seem right, and I still don't know why it isn't working. Any suggestion?

index.php
<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo = 2;
$floatOne = 1.5;

var_dump($integerOne += 5);
var_dump($integerTwo -= 1);

echo $integerOne * $floatOne;
?>

Task 2 says: "Add 5 to $integerOne. Subtract 1 from $integerTwo."

It didn't ask you to dump the result. Just remove the var_dump() and your code will work.

<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo = 2;
$floatOne = 1.5;

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

echo $integerOne * $floatOne;
?>
