Summarize operators in PHP

Sep 5, 2020 PHP beginner operator programming study diary

#Programming study diary September 5, 2020 I thought I knew most of the operators, but there were some operators I didn’t know, such as <> and . =, So I’ll take this opportunity to put them all together.

#Arithmetic operator An operator that performs simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Addition is used not only for numbers but also for concatenating strings. Addition is indicated by add, subtraction is indicated by sub, multiplication is indicated by mul, quotient of division is indicated by div, and remainder of division is indicated by mod.

Operator Meaning Description
+ Addition Addition of two or more values
- Subtract Subtract two or more values
* Multiply Multiply two or more values
/ Division Divide two or more values
% Residue Find too many when divided
<? php
  $ add = 17 + 5;
  echo "17 + 5 = $ add <br> \ n";

  $ sub = 17-5;
  echo "17-5 = $ sub <br> \ n";

  $ mul = 17 * 5;
  echo "17 * 5 = $ mul <br> \ n";

  $ div = 17/5;
  echo "17/5 = $ div <br> \ n";

  $ mod = 17% 5;
  echo "17% 5 = $ mod <br> \ n";
?>
17 + 5 = 22
17 --5 = 12
17 * 5 = 85
17/5 = 3.4
17% 5 = 2

#Comparison operator The equivalent operator of the comparison operator is summarized in This article (It seems that the meaning of == and === is different in PHP). Comparing two values under certain conditions, if the conditions are met, true is returned, otherwise false is returned. The comparison operator indicates a certain condition.

Operator Meaning Example Description
== Equal $ a == 10 Two values are equal (variable a is equal to 10)
! = Not equal $ a! = 10 Two values are not equal (variable a is not equal to 10)
<> Not equal $ a <> 10 Two values are not equal (variable a is not equal to 10)
< Small $ a <10 The value on the left side is smaller than the right side (variable a is less than 10)
> Large $ a> 10 The value on the left side is greater than the right side (variable a is greater than 10)
<= Same or less (less than or equal to) $ a <= 10 Value on the left side is less than or equal to the right side (variable a is less than or equal to 10)
> = Same or greater than (greater than or equal to) $ a> = 10 Value on the left side is greater than or equal to the right side (variable a is greater than or equal to 10)
<? php
    $ a = 10;
    if ($ a == 10) echo "The value of \ $ a is equal to 10 <br> \ n";
    if ($ a <10) echo "The value of \ $ a is greater than 10 <br> \ n";
    if ($ a> 20) echo "The value of \ $ a is less than 20 <br> \ n";
    if ($ a <= 20) echo "The value of \ $ a is greater than or equal to 20 <br> \ n";
    if ($ a <= 20) echo "The value of \ $ a is less than or equal to 20 <br> \ n";
    if ($ a! = 20) echo "The value of \ $ a is not equal to 20 <br> \ n";
    if ($ a <> 20) echo "The value of \ $ a is not equal to 20";
?>
The value of $ a is equal to 10
The value of $ a is less than 20
The value of $ a is less than or equal to 20
The value of $ a is not equal to 20
The value of $ a is not equal to 20

#Assignment operator The = used when assigning a value to a variable is called an assignment operator.

Operator Example Meaning
= a = b Substitute b for a
+ = a + = b a = a + same as b
-= a-= b a = a –same as –b
* = a * = b a = a * Same as b
/ = a / = b a = same as a / b
% = a% = b a = a Same as% b
& = a & = b a = a = same as & b
^ = a ^ = b a = a ^ same as b
<< = a « = b a = a « same as b
>> = a » = b a = a » Same as b
> >> = a »> = b a = a »> Same as b
. = A. = b ab (concatenate the value of b to a)

(Same as | =, a | = b, a = a | b)

#Logical operator Operators are used in some conditional expressions to create certain conditions. The operator described in the conditional expression is called a logical operator. The value returned by the logical operator is true or false.

Operator Meaning Description
&& Logical product When two values hold
and AND When two values hold
or OR When one or both of the two values hold
xor Exclusive OR When one of the two values holds and neither holds
! Negation When the value does not hold

(||, OR, when one or both of the two values hold)
