What will be printed? if ('2' == '02') { echo 'true'; } else { echo 'false'; }
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The code compares the string '2' with the string '02'. The double equals (==) operator in PHP performs type coercion, which means it converts the operands to the same type before comparing them. In this case, both strings are converted to integers. Since both '2' and '02' represent the same integer value (2), the comparison returns true. Therefore, the code will print 'true'.Rate this question:

What will be the value of $var below? $var = true ? '1' : false ? '2' : '3';
-
1
-
2
-
3
Correct Answer
A. 2Explanation
The value of $var will be 2. This is because the expression is using the ternary operator, which is a shorthand way of writing an if-else statement. In this case, the first condition "true ? '1' : false" evaluates to true, so the value '1' is returned. Then, the second condition "1 ? '2' : '3'" evaluates to true, so the value '2' is returned and assigned to $var.Rate this question:
