note 116868 added to language.operators.arithmetic

Not mentioned is the unary + operator, which is equivalent to adding its operand to zero. When applied to a number it has no effect, but to other types it has the effect of converting the value to an integer or double, whichever is more appropriate for the value and according to the usual type juggling rules. <?php echo gettype(+'76777.5'); // outputs "double" echo gettype(+'767775'); // outputs "integer" ?> ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 125.238.146.34 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.arithmetic.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/116868 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116868/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116868/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116868/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116868/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116868/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116868/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116868 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/116868 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
