PHP Basic Algorithm: Exercise-111 with Solution

Write a PHP program to check whether a given array of integers contains 5's and 7's.

Sample Solution:

PHP Code :

<?php
function test($nums)
 { 

     for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($nums); $i++)
         {
            if ($nums[$i] == 5 || $nums[$i] == 7) return true;
         }

            return false;
 }   

var_dump(test([1, 5, 6, 9, 10, 17]));
var_dump(test([1, 4, 7, 9, 10, 17]));
var_dump(test([1, 1, 2, 9, 10, 17]));

Sample Output:

bool(true)
bool(true)
bool(false)

PHP: Tips of the Day

How to Sort Multi-dimensional Array by Value?

Try a usort, If you are still on PHP 5.2 or earlier, you'll have to define a sorting function first:

Example:

function sortByOrder($a, $b) {
    return $a['order'] - $b['order'];
}

usort($myArray, 'sortByOrder');

Starting in PHP 5.3, you can use an anonymous function:

usort($myArray, function($a, $b) {
    return $a['order'] - $b['order'];
});

And finally with PHP 7 you can use the spaceship operator:

usort($myArray, function($a, $b) {
    return $a['order'] <=> $b['order'];
});

To extend this to multi-dimensional sorting, reference the second/third sorting elements if the first is zero - best explained below. You can also use this for sorting on sub-elements.

usort($myArray, function($a, $b) {
    $retval = $a['order'] <=> $b['order'];
    if ($retval == 0) {
        $retval = $a['suborder'] <=> $b['suborder'];
        if ($retval == 0) {
            $retval = $a['details']['subsuborder'] <=> $b['details']['subsuborder'];
        }
    }
    return $retval;
});

If you need to retain key associations, use uasort() - see comparison of array sorting functions in the manual
