What is Operators in PHP ?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Operators are symbols that tell the PHP processor to perform certain actions. For example, the addition (+) symbol is an operator that tells PHP to add two variables or values, while the greater-than (>) symbol is an operator that tells PHP to compare two values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following lists describe the different operators used in PHP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PHP Arithmetic Operators<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Arithmetic operators are used to performing common arithmetical operations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc. Here’s a complete list of PHP’s arithmetic operators:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operator<\/span><\/strong><\/td>Description<\/span><\/strong><\/td>Example<\/span><\/strong><\/td>Result<\/span><\/strong><\/td><\/tr>

*<\/td>Multiplication<\/td>$x * $y<\/td>Product of $x and $y.<\/td><\/tr>
\/<\/td>Division<\/td>$x \/ $y<\/td>Quotient of $x and $y<\/td><\/tr>
%<\/td>Modulus<\/td>$x % $y<\/td>Remainder of $x divided by $y<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
