They don’t necessarily need to be symbols. Pascal, for example, uses ‘/' for floating-point division, ‘div' for integer division, ‘mod' for modulus, and ‘rem' for remainder. For example:
20 / 8 = 2.5 20 mod 8 = 4 In PHP, we already have precedence for non-symbol in operators like ‘and', ‘or', and ‘instanceof', so it wouldn’t feel too out of place for less commonly used operators.
