What will be the output of the following PHP code ?

<?php
$p = 25;
$q = 26;
if ($p < ++$p || $q < ++$q)
    print "if statement executed...";
else
    print "else statement executed...";
?>

1. else statement executed...
2. Error
3. if statement executed...
4. Nothing
5. None of these

The operator precedence of ++ is higher than <,thus the increment happens first and then compared.
