Operator and Expressions definitions and example

Operators and Expressions in PHP


Operators are symbols that tell the PHP interpreter to perform specific operations. They act o
n variables and values, creating expressions. Expressions are combinations of variables, const
ants, and operators that evaluate to a value.
Here's a breakdown of different types of operators with definitions and examples:

1. Arithmetic Operators

Definition: Used to perform mathematical operations.


Addition (+): Adds two values.

Php Copy

$sum = 5 + 3;
echo $sum; // Output: 8

Subtraction (-): Subtracts one value from another.

Php Copy

$difference = 10 - 7;
echo $difference; // Output: 3

Multiplication ()*: Multiplies two values.

Php Copy

$product = 4 * 2;
echo $product; // Output: 8

Division (/): Divides one value by another.

Php Copy

$quotient = 8 / 2;
echo $quotient; // Output: 4

Modulus (%): Returns the remainder of the division.


Php Copy

$remainder = 5 % 2;
echo $remainder; // Output: 1

2. Assignment Operators

Definition: Used to assign values to variables.


Assignment (=): Assigns a value to a variable.

Php Copy

$x = 10;

Addition Assignment (+=): Adds a value to a variable and assigns the result.

Php Copy

$x = 5;
$x += 3; // Equivalent to $x = $x + 3;
echo $x; // Output: 8

3. Comparison Operators

Definition: Used to compare two values.


Equal (==): Checks if two values are equal.

Php Copy

$result = (5 == 5); // TRUE

Identical (===): Checks if two values are equal and of the same type.

Php Copy

$result = (5 === "5"); // FALSE (different types)

Not Equal (!= or <>): Checks if two values are not equal.

Php Copy

$result = (5 != 3); // TRUE


4. Logical Operators

Definition: Used to combine conditional statements.

And (&&): Returns TRUE if both operands are true.

Php Copy

$result = (true && false); // FALSE

Or (||): Returns TRUE if at least one of the operands is true.

Php Copy

$result = (true || false); // TRUE

Not (!): Inverts the truth value.

Php Copy

$result = !(true); // FALSE

5. String Operators

Definition: Used to concatenate strings.

Concatenation (.): Joins two strings.

Php Copy

$text = "Hello" . " world!";


echo $text; // Output: Hello world!

6. Conditional (Ternary) Operator

Definition: Shorthand for an if-else statement.

Ternary (?:): Evaluates a condition and returns one of two values.

Php Copy

$age = 20;
$result = ($age >= 18) ? "Adult" : "Minor";
echo $result; // Output: Adult

Expressions
Definition: Combinations of variables, constants, and operators that evaluate to a value.

Example:

Php Copy

$a = 5;
$b = 10;
$c = $a + $b; // Expression: $a + $b
echo $c; // Output: 15
