To create a default value for a parameter in the parameter list of a function, you code a/an ________________ sign after the parameter name followed by the default value.

=

In PHP, function name duplications are likely to occur because

all functions have global scope

Which method of passing a variable allows the function to change the value of the variable?

by reference

Which of the following is a function that is passed as an argument to another function?

callback

In PHP, all functions have ________________ scope.

global

Within a function, you can use the ________________ keyword if you need to refer to a variable that's declared outside the function.

global

If you declare a variable within a function, the variable has ________________ scope.

local

You can use the ________________ operator with PHP 7 or later compare two values.

spaceship

By default, all arguments for PHP functions are passed by ________________.

value

Given this function: $compare_function = function(float $left, float $right) { return $left <=> $right; }; what will happen when the following statement is executed? $result = $compare_function(12.5, 12);

The function will return 1.

Given this function: function get_tax(int $subtotal, float $tax_pct) : float { $tax = $subtotal * $tax_pct; return $tax; } what will happen when the following statement is executed if strict types mode is set? $tax = get_tax(10.5, .08);

The function will throw an exception because the subtotal isn't an int value.

Given this function: function get_tax(int $subtotal, float $tax_pct) : float { $tax = $subtotal * $tax_pct; return $tax; } what will happen when the following statement is executed if strict types mode isn't set? $tax = get_tax(10.5, .08);

The function will truncate $subtotal to 10 and return .80.

Which of the following is NOT true about type declarations?

They were introduced with PHP 7.

To avoid the duplication of function names, you can

Use namespaces

The function that follows returns function coin_toss() { if (mt_rand(0, 1) == 0) { $coin = 'heads'; } else { $coin = 'tails'; } return $coin; }

file

All of the arguments that are passed to a function are available in an array that can be accessed by using the

If you create a function with a variable number of parameters, you need to use a PHP ________________ to get an array of the arguments that are passed to the function.

function

To create a function named randomize that has one parameter that has a default value of 5 and one required parameter that's passed by reference, you start the function like this:

function randomize(&$parm1, $parm2 = 5) {

A variable declared inside a PHP function would be considered a ____________ variable.

local

To avoid collisions of function names, you can create a/an ________________ for storing your functions.

namespace

When creating functions, you can include ______________ that are located inside parentheses after the function name.

return

With PHP 7 and later, in addition to declaring the type of a parameter for a function as an object, you can declare the type as a/an ________________ value.
