return $a;
} else {
return $b;
}
}
Now, consider the following statements about the function invocation.

13) Consider the following PHP function declaration.

function f1($a){
if (count($a) == 0){
return 0;
} else {
return array_shift($a)+f1($a);
}
}

Note : The array_shift() function removes the first element (the element at index 0) from an
array, and returns the value of the removed element.

What would be the return value when this function is called as f1(array(1,2,3,4,5,6))?
(a) 1 (b) 6 (c) 7

class Rectangle{
private $length,$width;

function __construct($length,$width){
$this->length = $length;
$this->width = $width;
}

function setLength($length){
$this->length = $length;
}

function setWidth($width){
$this->width = $width;
}

function area(){
return $this->length * $this->width;
}

function perimeter(){
return ($this->length + $this->width) * 2;
}
}
?>

15) Which of the following statements about the above definition is/are correct?

whenever new instances of this class are created.

16) Which of the following statement(s) would not result in an error when executed?

(b) $c = new Rectangle(5);
(c) $c = new Rectangle(5,10);
(d) $c = new Rectangle(5,5,10);
