Answers

A1:

The variable name $666666xyz is not valid because it does not begin with a letter or an underscore character. The variable name $the first is not valid because it contains a space. $file-name is also invalid because it contains a nonalphanumeric character.

A2:

The fragment will print the integer 33. The cast to boolean produced a converted copy of the value stored in $num. It did not alter the value actually stored there.

A3:

The statement will output the string "string".

A4:

The code will output the value 5. When a double is converted to an integer, any information beyond the decimal point is lost.

A5:

They are all expressions because they all resolve to values.

A6:

The statement 5/12; contains a division operator.

A7:

The expression will resolve to false, which is a boolean value.
