Quiz asking about concepts not covered in videos

the quiz at the end of this lesson refers to the following operators that aren't covered in either the videos nor teacher's notes of this section, to my knowledge:

. & |

the following video in the PHP Basics track then uses the "." concatenation operator, while not having introduced it yet: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/php-basics/php-conditionals-loops/conditionals

Hi Patrick Bond ,

Here are some details about the logical operators & and | http://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.logical.php

The period is a string operator for concatenation, you can learn more here http://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.string.php

We are aware of issues with the PHP Basics course and I am happy to announce that we will be releasing two new basics courses next week.

PHP Basics refresh

In this course I'll walk you through the basics of the language, ranging from basic statements to conditionals. We'll be creating a simple "Unit Converter" as well as a "Daily Exercise Program". We'll then finish up by combining those programs with HTML to create a personal webpage to demonstrate your skills.

PHP Arrays and Control Structures

This course builds on the foundational skills covered in the PHP Basics course. We'll explore conditionals, loops and the compound variable -- arrays. All of which help your write more powerful and intelligent programs using less code.

I hope these new courses will make your journey with us much easier to follow!

Excellent, glad to see the course getting revamped.

The operators were easy enough to figure out in the subsequent videos from context clues, it was just weird that there were quiz questions referring to operators that weren't in the videos at all.

Thanks!
