There are several PHP functions that accept user-defined callback functions as a parameter, such as: call_user_func(), usort() and array_map(). Depending on where the user-defined callback function was defined there are different ways to pass them: Procedural style: function square($number) { ...

// zoo.php class Animal { public function eats($food) { echo "Yum, $food!"; } } $animal = new Animal(); $animal->eats('meat'); PHP knows what Animal is before executing new Animal, because PHP reads source files top-to-bottom. But what if we wanted to create ...

6 Fetch request promises initially return Response objects. These will provide response header information, but they don't directly include the response body, which may not have even loaded yet. Methods on the Response object such as .json() can be used to wait for the response body to load, then p...

The function rand() can be used to generate a pseudo-random integer value between 0 and RAND_MAX (0 and RAND_MAX included). srand(int) is used to seed the pseudo-random number generator. Each time rand() is seeded wih the same seed, it must produce the same sequence of values. It should only be see...

Here's a standalone random number generator that doesn't rely on rand() or similar library functions. Why would you want such a thing? Maybe you don't trust your platform's builtin random number generator, or maybe you want a reproducible source of randomness independent of any particular library ...

6 Exceptions are to synchronous code what rejections are to promise-based asynchronous code. If an exception is thrown in a promise handler, its error will be automatically caught and used to reject the promise instead. Promise.resolve(5) .then(result => { throw new Error("I ...
