I have string $str = 'street';
and I want to write a function output($str, $n)
Here the $n
is the count for number of occurrences in the given string. I don't want to use any PHP inbuilt functions like converting it to array first or substr_count
or any other for this and want to do this just with pure for looping if it is possible
Considering $n as 2, the expected output is:-
t -> 2
e -> 2
$input = 'street';
$n = 2;
function outputs($input, $n)
{
$input = str_replace(' ', '', $input);
$characters = str_split($input);
$outputs = [];
foreach ($characters as $char)
{
if(!isset($outputs[$char])){
$outputs[$char] = 1;
} else {
$outputs[$char] += 1;
}
}
foreach ($outputs as $char => $number)
{
if ($number == $n) {
echo $char . ' -> ' . $number;
echo "\n";
}
}
}
outputs($input, $n);
So here, I have tried this above code and it works absolutely fine, but here I used the str_split function for this. I want to avoid its usage and need it to be done with looping only if it's possible.
I am bad at formatting questions so please spare me on this.
You can use a for loop instead:
<?php
$input = 'street';
$n = 2;
function outputs($input, $n)
{
$input = str_replace(' ', '', $input);
$outputs = [];
for($i = 0; $i < strlen($input); $i++)
{
if(!isset($outputs[$input[$i]])){
$outputs[$input[$i]] = 1;
} else {
$outputs[$input[$i]] += 1;
}
}
foreach ($outputs as $char => $number)
{
if ($number == $n) {
echo $char . ' -> ' . $number;
echo "\n";
}
}
}
outputs($input, $n);
If you can't use strlen
you can use while
loop with isset
:
$i = 0;
while(isset($input[$i])) {
if(!isset($outputs[$input[$i]])){
$outputs[$input[$i]] = 1;
} else {
$outputs[$input[$i]] += 1;
}
$i++;
}
Removing both the str_split
and the str_replace()
functions can be done by using the fact that a string can be accessed as an array, so loop over the string and pick out each character by it's position in the string...
function outputs($input, $n)
{
$outputs = [];
for ( $i = 0; $i < strlen($input); $i++ )
{
$char = $input[$i];
if ( $char != ' ' ) {
if(!isset($outputs[$char])){
$outputs[$char] = 1;
} else {
$outputs[$char] += 1;
}
}
}
foreach ($outputs as $char => $number)
{
if ($number == $n) {
echo $char . ' -> ' . $number;
echo "\n";
}
}
}
to remove the strlen()
, just check if each element of the string is set...
function outputs($input, $n)
{
$outputs = [];
$i = 0;
while ( isset($input[$i]))
{
$char = $input[$i];
if ( $char != ' ' ) {
if(!isset($outputs[$char])){
$outputs[$char] = 1;
} else {
$outputs[$char] += 1;
}
}
$i++;
}
foreach ($outputs as $char => $number)
{
if ($number == $n) {
echo $char . ' -> ' . $number;
echo "\n";
}
}
}
