PHP Basic Algorithm: Exercise-99 with Solution

Write a PHP program to compute the sum of the two given arrays of integers, length 3 and find the array which has the largest sum.

Sample Solution:

PHP Code :

<?php
function test($nums1, $nums2)
 { 
    return $nums1[0] + $nums1[1] + $nums1[2] >= $nums2[0] + $nums2[1] + $nums2[2] ? $nums1 : $nums2;
 }   

$result = test([10, 20, -30], [10, 20, 30]);
echo "New array with maximum values: " . implode(',', $result);

Sample Output:

New array with maximum values: 10,20,30

Previous: Write a PHP program to check a given array of integers, length 3 and create a new array. If there is a 5 in the given array immediately followed by a 7 then set 7 to 1.
Next: Write a PHP program to create an array taking two middle elements from a given array of integers of length even.

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
