How to return 0 instead of null in laravel?

@ryan.murray 

In Laravel, you can use the ?? operator to return a default value if a variable is null.

Here is an example of how you can return 0 instead of null:

1
2
3
4
5

$value = null;

$result = $value ?? 0;

return $result;

In this example, if the $value variable is null, the $result variable will be set to 0 using the ?? operator. You can adjust the default value to whatever you need.
