I'm working on this problem of sorting in php. I have to write my own sorting functions, using my_asort() and my_ksort() functions that do exactly the same as asort and ksort respectively. However I'm not able to get the correct output (I'm new to php), hence any help on how to correct this, would be greatly appreciated.
This is the code I typed up:
<?php
echo "Original Array<br><br>";
$member = array("Jack" => "55kg", "Bill" => "35kg", "Aaron" => "60kg", "Daniel" => "80kg" );
foreach ($member as $user => $weight) {
echo "$user = $weight <br>";
}
echo "<br><br>";
function my_asort($member)
{
$keys=array_keys($member);
sort($keys);
foreach($keys as $key)
{
$val=$member[$key];
unset($member[$key]);
$member[$key]=$val;
}
}
echo "Sorted By user <br><br>";
foreach ($member as $user => $weight) {
echo "$user = $weight <br>";
}
echo "<br><br>";
function my_ksort($member)
{
$keys=array_keys($member);
sort($keys);
foreach($keys as $key)
{
$val=$member[$key];
unset($member[$key]);
$member[$key]=$val;
}
}
echo "Sorted By weight <br><br>";
foreach ($member as $user => $weight) {
echo "$user = $weight <br>";
}
?>
This is what it displays: (It doesn't do any sorting, what am I doing wrong?)
Original Array
Jack = 55kg
Bill = 35kg
Aaron = 60kg
Daniel = 80kg
Sorted By user
Jack = 55kg
Bill = 35kg
Aaron = 60kg
Daniel = 80kg
Sorted By weight
Jack = 55kg
Bill = 35kg
Aaron = 60kg
Daniel = 80kg
You need to call your functions (or use the code without a function declaration). You just defined them inside your code.
So if you want to use them, you need to call them and your code will look like:
<?php
function my_ksort(&$member)
{
$keys=array_keys($member);
sort($keys);
foreach($keys as $key)
{
$val=$member[$key];
unset($member[$key]);
$member[$key]=$val;
}
}
function my_asort(&$member)
{
$keys=array_keys($member);
sort($keys);
foreach($keys as $key)
{
$val=$member[$key];
unset($member[$key]);
$member[$key]=$val;
}
}
echo "Original Array<br><br>";
$member = array("Jack" => "55kg", "Bill" => "35kg", "Aaron" => "60kg", "Daniel" => "80kg" );
foreach ($member as $user => $weight) {
echo "$user = $weight <br>";
}
echo "<br><br>";
my_asort($member);
echo "Sorted By user <br><br>";
foreach ($member as $user => $weight) {
echo "$user = $weight <br>";
}
echo "<br><br>";
my_ksort($member);
echo "Sorted By weight <br><br>";
foreach ($member as $user => $weight) {
echo "$user = $weight <br>";
}
