19,315 PointsDo not understand what to do on task 4
PalprimeChecker objects have a property called number. This task has two parts. First, assign that property a value of 17. Second, remove the two hash signs (##) in the first echo statement and instead concatenate the value of this number property. (Be sure to preserve the space after the two hash signs by concatenating a space after the number.)
And this is what I came up with:
<?php
include("class.palprimechecker.php");
$checker = new PalprimeChecker();
$checker(number) -> 17;
echo "The number " . $checker(number);
echo "(is|is not)";
echo " a palprime.";
?>
Thats the question im stuck on can someone please explain.

8,548 Pointsyou assign a property or method of an object using -> sign. So first $checker is the object an number is the property so we use $checker->number = 17; should be on your third line. But you need to either assign it a new variable so you can say $number = $checker->number = 17; then concatenate that $number in the first echo statement or use $checker->number directly. as in echo "The number " . checker->number . " ";
