Variable Arguments

Variable Arguments is a PHP topic. In plain words you use it for $marks = 72 in a result script. Don’t start with a slogan — start with that picture.

Smallest example: $name = 'Asha';. Type it, run it, and say what you see. If you can do that from memory, you know Variable Arguments.

From the example next to this theory — Variable Arguments: scores array, print avg, then high marks.

Trap — using marks without $. Fix that before you talk about advanced PHP.

Viva — what is Variable Arguments? Then show $name = 'Asha';. Then name the trap.

Exam tip

What is Variable Arguments? Show this: $name = 'Asha';. Trap: using marks without $.

Example

<?php
// Variable Arguments
$scores = [80, 90, 70];
$avg = array_sum($scores) / count($scores);
echo "avg=" . number_format($avg, 1) . "\n";
foreach ($scores as $s) {
  if ($s >= 80) echo "high: $s\n";
}

Variable Arguments: scores array, print avg, then high marks. Say the output.

Short notes
