PHP Exercises: Check a given array of integers and return true if the given array contains two 5's next to each other, or two 5 separated by one element
PHP Basic Algorithm: Exercise-117 with Solution
Write a PHP program to check a given array of integers and return true if the given array contains two 5's next to each other, or two 5 separated by one element.
Sample Solution:
PHP Code :
<?php
function test($numbers)
{
$len = sizeof($numbers);
for ($i = 0; $i < $len - 1; $i++)
{
if ($numbers[$i] ==5 && $numbers[$i + 1] == 5) return true;
if ($i + 2 < $len && $numbers[$i] == 5 && $numbers[$i + 2] == 5) return true;
}
return false;
}
var_dump(test([5, 5, 1, 5, 5]));
var_dump(test([1, 2, 3, 4]));
var_dump(test([3, 3, 5, 5, 5, 5]));
var_dump(test([1, 5, 5, 7, 8, 10]));
Sample Output:
bool(true) bool(false) bool(true) bool(true)

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
