24.9. In an arithmetic expression, division is done before multiplication, but you can override that by using __.
Correct Answer
parenthesesExplanation
In an arithmetic expression, division is typically done before multiplication. However, you can override this order by using parentheses. Parentheses allow you to group certain operations together and indicate that they should be done before any other operations. By placing the multiplication operation within parentheses, you can ensure that it is performed before division, regardless of the default order of operations.Rate this question:
25.10. When you call a function like the number_format function that returns a value, you usually __ the result of the function to a variable.
Correct Answer
assignExplanation
When you call a function like the number_format function that returns a value, you usually assign the result of the function to a variable. This means that you store the value returned by the function in a variable so that you can use it later in your code. By assigning the result to a variable, you can manipulate or display the value as needed.Rate this question:

27.12. In an if statement, the statements in the else clause are executed if none of the conditions in the if or __ clauses are true.
Correct Answer
else ifExplanation
The correct answer is "else if". In an if statement, the statements in the else clause are executed if none of the conditions in the if or else if clauses are true. The else if clause allows for multiple conditions to be checked sequentially, and if none of them are true, then the statements in the else clause will be executed.Rate this question:
28.13. The condition for a while loop is tested __ the statements in the loop are executed.
Correct Answer
beforeExplanation
In a while loop, the condition is checked before the statements in the loop are executed. This means that the condition is evaluated first, and if it is true, then the statements in the loop will be executed. If the condition is false, the loop will not be executed at all. Therefore, the condition acts as a gatekeeper for the loop, determining whether the statements inside the loop will be executed or not.Rate this question:
29.What will the variable $name contain after the code that follows is executed? $first_name = 'Bob'; $last_name = 'Roberts'; $name = "Name: $first_name";
Correct Answer
Name: BobExplanation
The variable $name will contain the string "Name: Bob" after the code is executed. This is because the variable $name is assigned the value of the string "Name: " concatenated with the value of the variable $first_name, which is "Bob".Rate this question:
30.15. What value will the variable $net_price contain after the code that follows is executed?__ $list_price = 100.00; $discount_percent = 20; $discount_amount = $list_price * $discount_percent * .01; $net_price = $list_price - $discount_amount;
Correct Answer
80Explanation
The variable $net_price will contain the value 80 after the code is executed. This is because the $discount_amount is calculated by multiplying $list_price by $discount_percent divided by 100. Then, $net_price is calculated by subtracting $discount_amount from $list_price, resulting in 80.Rate this question:

33.You can’t add a record to a table with a foreign key unless that foreign key ___________________ the value of a primary key in the related table.
Correct Answer
matchesExplanation
In order to add a record to a table with a foreign key, the value of the foreign key must match the value of a primary key in the related table. This ensures referential integrity and maintains the relationship between the two tables. If the foreign key does not match any primary key value in the related table, the record cannot be added as it would create an inconsistent or invalid relationship.Rate this question:
34.The most common type of relationship between tables in a relational database is a _____________________ relationship.
Correct Answer
one to manyExplanation
The most common type of relationship between tables in a relational database is a "one to many" relationship. In this type of relationship, one record in the first table can be associated with multiple records in the second table. This is often represented by a foreign key in the second table that references the primary key in the first table. It is called "one to many" because for every record in the first table, there can be multiple related records in the second table.Rate this question:
35.The ___________________ of a column in a database table determines what type of data can be stored in the column.
Correct Answer
data typeExplanation
The data type of a column in a database table determines what type of data can be stored in the column. This means that the column can only accept and store data that is of the specified data type. For example, if the data type of a column is set to "integer", then only whole numbers can be stored in that column. The data type helps to enforce data integrity and ensure that the correct type of data is stored in each column.Rate this question:
