    What symbol is used to end command in a pHP script?

    • :

    • ;

    • :)

    • .

    Correct Answer
    A. ;
    Explanation
    The semicolon (;) is used to end a command in a PHP script. In PHP, each statement or command should be terminated with a semicolon to indicate the end of the line. This allows the PHP interpreter to understand the separation between different commands and execute them correctly. Therefore, the semicolon is the correct symbol to end a command in a PHP script.

    Correct Answer
    A. Function car(...){...}

    The correct syntax for a function (not calling the function) is "function car(...){...}". This syntax indicates that we are defining a function named "car" with optional parameters inside the parentheses and the code block for the function inside the curly braces.

    • #Variable

    • &Variable

    • $Variable

    Which statement is used when you want to have 2 possible outcomes? 

    • If/elseif/else

    • If/else

    • If

    Correct Answer
    A. If/else
    Explanation
    The "if/else" statement is used when you want to have 2 possible outcomes. It allows you to specify a condition that, if true, executes a certain block of code, and if false, executes a different block of code. This allows for branching in the program flow, where different actions can be taken based on the evaluation of a condition.

    What is another name for a long list of if statements?

    Correct Answer
    switch
    Explanation
    A long list of if statements can also be referred to as a switch statement. A switch statement is a programming construct that allows for multiple conditional branches based on the value of an expression. It provides a concise and efficient way to handle multiple cases and execute different code blocks based on the value of a variable.

    Correct Answer
    A. Include("scripts/test.php");
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "include("scripts/test.php");". This is the correct syntax to include the "test.php" file from the "scripts" folder. The include function is used to include and evaluate the specified file. In this case, it is used to include the "test.php" file from the "scripts" folder.

    Would you use a function for basic tasks?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    Using a function for basic tasks is beneficial for several reasons. Firstly, it promotes code reusability as functions can be called multiple times throughout a program. This saves time and effort in writing the same code repeatedly. Additionally, functions enhance code readability and organization by breaking down complex tasks into smaller, manageable chunks. They also allow for easier debugging and maintenance as any changes or fixes can be made within the function itself. Therefore, using a function for basic tasks is a recommended practice in programming.

    Which are example of counters?

    • $var += 1

    • $var++

    • $var=+1

    • $var = $var + 1

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. $var += 1
    A. $var++
    A. $var = $var + 1
    Explanation
    The given examples are all valid ways to increment the value of a variable by 1. In the first example, "$var += 1", the "+=" operator is used to add 1 to the current value of $var and assign the result back to $var. In the second example, "$var++", the "++" operator is used as a shorthand for incrementing the value of $var by 1. In the third example, "$var = $var + 1", the value of $var is incremented by 1 using the "+" operator and the result is assigned back to $var.
