Which statement about array_map behavior is TRUE when multiple arrays are passed as arguments?
Aarray_map throws an error if arrays have different lengths
BThe callback is called with all elements from the longest array only
Carray_map merges all arrays into one before applying the callback
DThe callback is called with elements from each array at the same index until the shortest array ends
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand how array_map handles multiple arrays

    It calls the callback with elements from each array at matching indexes.
  2. Step 2: Identify stopping condition

    Processing stops when the shortest array runs out of elements.
  3. Final Answer:

    The callback is called with elements from each array at the same index until the shortest array ends -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Multiple arrays processed up to shortest length [OK]
Quick Trick: array_map stops at shortest array length when multiple arrays used [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Thinking it processes longest array fully
  • Believing it merges arrays before callback
  • Expecting error on different array lengths
