Question

I know the above code outputs 323

But need an explanation on how is it outputting 323

Anybody can pls explain?

Answer 1

Here

echo (2).(3*print(3));

Step1:(Starting execution)

echo (2).(3*print(3)); //Output = ''

Step 2:(Print action will take place)

 echo (2).(3*1); // Will print 3 and returns 1 as per print function. Output = 3

Step 3:(Multiplication operation)

 echo (2).(3);  // Multiplication operation willtake place. Output = 3

Step 4:(Prints the data)

 echo (2).(3);  //The . Operator will used to concate the strings in php, thus Output = 323 

Print has more priority then echo thus it prints 3 first later 2 and 3
