What will be printed? if ('2' == '02') { echo 'true'; } else { echo 'false'; }
- A.
True
- B.
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:

- A.
!=
- B.
>=
- C.
- D.

Correct Answer
C.Explanation

The ">=" operator is also a valid comparison operator and it checks if the left operand is greater than or equal to the right operand. The "===" operator is another valid comparison operator in PHP and it checks if two values are identical in terms of both value and data type. Therefore, the answer is not available.Rate this question:

'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:
