Explain shorthand syntax in php

 Q. Explain  shorthand syntax in php.
Answer:

The PHP shorthand syntax you're referring to is often used for control structures like if, else, while, and for. It's a more concise alternative syntax and is especially popular when mixing PHP with HTML. Here are examples of the shorthand syntax for a few control structures:

If/Else:
<?php if ($condition): ?>
    <!-- HTML or PHP statements for true condition -->
<?php else: ?>
    <!-- HTML or PHP statements for false condition -->
<?php endif; ?>

While:
<?php while ($condition): ?>
    <!-- HTML or PHP statements to be repeated while the condition is true -->
<?php endwhile; ?>

For:
<?php for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++): ?>
    <!-- HTML or PHP statements to be repeated for each iteration -->
<?php endfor; ?>

Foreach:
<?php foreach ($array as $value): ?>
    <!-- HTML or PHP statements to be repeated for each element in the array -->
<?php endforeach; ?>

Note that the shorthand syntax only works if the control structure contains a single statement. If you need to execute multiple statements, you should use the regular syntax with curly braces. The shorthand syntax is often preferred for cleaner integration with HTML templates.
