variadicFunction
Variadic functions allows you to capture a variable number of arguments to a function.
The function accepts any number of variables to execute the code. It uses a for loop to iterate over the parameters.
function variadicFunction($operands) { $sum = 0; foreach($operands as $singleOperand) { $sum += $singleOperand; } return $sum; }
Examples
variadicFunction([1, 2]); // 3 variadicFunction([1, 2, 3, 4]); // 10
