Why am I getting error here, I did as said in the question

$integerOne = 1;

$integerOne += 5; $floatOne = 1.5; echo $integerOne * $floatOne;

index.php 
<?php

//Place your code below this comment
$integerOne = 1;
$integerTwo = 2;
$integerOne = $integerOne + 5;
$integerTwo -= 1;
$floatOne = 1.5;
echo "The Result is :";
echo $integerOne * $floatOne;
?>

Hi there! It's not so much an error as you've not only done what they've asked, but you've done something over that. This challenge is checking that you echo out the value and nothing else. So if I simply comment out this line:

// echo "The Result is :";

your code passes!

:bulb: Going forward, it's important to try not to do anything a challenge doesn't explicitly ask for. Even if it's functional outside the challenge, it can cause the challenge to fail as it must meet very specific requirements.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
