PHP - Conditional Statements

Aif ($a > $b) { echo 'Yes'; }

Bif $a > $b then echo 'Yes';

Cif ($a > $b) echo 'Yes'

Dif $a > $b { echo 'Yes'; }

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Recall PHP if statement syntax
PHP requires parentheses around the condition and curly braces around the code block.
Step 2: Check each option for correct syntax
if ($a > $b) { echo 'Yes'; } uses parentheses and curly braces correctly. if ($a > $b) echo 'Yes' misses semicolon after echo and curly braces, causing syntax error. The other options lack parentheses or use invalid 'then' keyword.
Final Answer:
if ($a > $b) { echo 'Yes'; } -> Option A
Quick Check:
Correct if syntax = if ($a > $b) { echo 'Yes'; } [OK]

Quick Trick: Use parentheses for condition and braces for code block [OK]
