(int)var ))OR  (integer) var  OR intval(var)    Using this function , we convert variable into integer variable.

is_float ()  this function cheacks input variuable  is float or not.

In PHP , we can declar string in  three ways.

1.    By using single quotations
2.    By using double quotations
3.    By using heredoc syntax

NOTE  Variable in double quotations returns value of variables.

Heredoc   PHP suports heredoc  syntax to avoid the conflicts what we getting with single and double quotations.
