make changes to php challenges

Question

Who else think the php challenges need some changes? most of the questions ask you to type in the result of a mathematics operation that the given code does. They are suppose to be php challenges not maths challenges.

Answer 1

I saw a pure math question and I am still surprised how it is approved. The question is:

What is the output of echo 112/4;

Answer 2

yep, we all know there is a lot of trouble in the Factory process. Hope SL might listen to the great suggestions by the community.

Answer 3

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who was thinking this. Quite often I encounter questions that I understood the programming operands of but would be let down by my maths skills or a "Time Out" by not being quick enough to solve the maths in the question. As a plus though, at least I now know I should improve on my mathematics.

Answer 4

how does everyone feel about the recursive one with 999 loops and double dollar signs? I think it's almost pure arithmetic, but it still struck me as one of the more intriguing questions

Answer 5

I don't know phpp so this is good fer me heheh...

Answer 6

I think this is the case with many of the questions.. there's a difference between trying to catch you out with multiple operations and just making a hard math problem. After all, we as coders write code to solve those!
