Interview Questions - Algorithm Questions:

1. Insertion sort (one-dimensional array) Basic idea: Each time a data element to be sorted is inserted into the appropriate position in the previously sorted array, so that the array is still in order; until all the data elements to be sorted are until the insertion is complete. Example:

[Initial keyword] [49] 38 65 97 76 13 27 49
J=2(38) [38 49] 65 97 76 13 27 49
J=3(65 ) [38 49 65] 97 76 13 27 49
J=4(97) [38 49 65 97] 76 13 27 49
J=5(76) [38 49 65 76 97] 13 27 49
J=6(13) [13 38 49 65 76 97] 27 49
J=7(27) [13 27 38 49 65 76 97] 49
J=8(49) [13 27 38 49 49 65 76 97]

function insert_sort($arr){
    $count = count($arr); 	
    for($i=1; $i<$count; $i++){ 		
        $tmp = $arr[$i]; 	 	
        $j = $i - 1; 	 	
        while($arr[$j] > $tmp){ 	 		
            $arr[$j+1] = $arr[$j]; 	 		
            $arr[$j] = $tmp; 	 		
            $j--; 	 		
        } 	 
    } 	 
    return $arr; 
}

2. Selection sort (one-dimensional array) Basic idea: Each pass selects the smallest (or largest) element from the data elements to be sorted, in order Place it at the end of the sorted array until all data elements to be sorted are exhausted. Example:

[Initial keyword] [49 38 65 97 76 13 27 49]
13 after the first sort [38 65 97 76 49 27 49]
13 after the second sort 27 [65 97 76 49 38 49]
After the third sorting 13 27 38 [97 76 49 65 49]
After the fourth sorting 13 27 38 49 [49 97 65 76]
Fifth After the sixth sorting pass 13 27 38 49 49 [97 97 76]
After the sixth sorting pass 13 27 38 49 49 76 [76 97]
After the seventh sorting pass 13 27 38 49 49 76 76 [ 97]
Final sorting result 13 27 38 49 49 76 76 97

function select_sort($arr){ 	
    $count = count($arr); 	
    for($i=0; $i<$count; $i++){ 		
        $k = $i; 	 	
        for($j=$i+1; $j<$count; $j++){ 	 		
            if ($arr[$k] > $arr[$j]) $k = $j; 		
        } 		
        if($k != $i){ 			
            $tmp = $arr[$i]; 			
            $arr[$i] = $arr[$k]; 			
            $arr[$k] = $tmp; 		
        } 	
    } 	
    return $arr; 
}

3. Bubble sorting (one-dimensional array) Basic idea: compare the sizes of the data elements to be sorted pairwise and find two data When the order of elements is reversed, swapping is performed until there are no more data elements in reverse order. Sorting process: Imagine that the sorted array R [1..N] is erected vertically, and each data element is regarded as a weighted bubble. According to the principle that light bubbles cannot be under heavy bubbles, the array R is scanned from bottom to top. Whenever light bubbles that violate this principle are scanned, they are made to "float" upward, and this process is repeated until the last two bubbles are the lighter one at the top and the heavier one at the bottom. Example:

49 13 13 13 13 13 13 13
38 49 27 27 27 27 27 27
65 38 49 38 38 38 38 38
97 65 38 49 49 49 49 49
76 97 65 49 49 49 49 49
13 76 97 65 65 65 65 65
27 27 76 97 76 76 76 76
49 49 49 76 97 97 97 97

function bubble_sort($array){ 	
    $count = count($array); 	
    if ($count <= 0) return false; 	
    for($i=0; $i<$count; $i++){ 		
        for($j=$count-1; $j>$i; $j--){ 			
            if ($array[$j]<$array[$j-1]){ 				
                $tmp = $array[$j]; 				
                $array[$j] = $array[$j-1]; 				
                $array[$j-1] = $tmp; 			
            } 		
        } 	
    } 	 
    return $array; 
}

4. Quick sort (one-dimensional array) Basic idea: Take any data element in the current unordered area R[1..H] as the "baseline" for comparison (it may be recorded as The current disordered area is divided into two smaller disordered areas on the left and right: R[1..I-1] and R[I 1..H], and the data elements in the left disordered subarea are less than or equal to the reference elements. , the data elements in the unordered sub-area on the right are all greater than or equal to the reference element, and the reference X is located at the final sorting position, that is, R[1..I-1]≤X.Key≤RI 1..H, when R When both [1..I-1] and R[I 1..H] are non-empty, perform the above division process on them respectively until all data elements in the unordered sub-area have been sorted. Example:

Initial keyword [49 38 65 97 76 13 27 49]
After the first exchange [27 38 65 97 76 13 49 49]
After the second exchange [27 38 49 97 76 13 65 49]
J Scan to the left, the position remains unchanged, after the third exchange [27 38 13 97 76 49 65 49]
I Scan to the right, the position remains unchanged, the fourth exchange After [27 38 13 49 76 97 65 49]
J scan to the left [27 38 13 49 76 97 65 49]
(one division process)
Initial keyword [49 38 65 97 76 13 27 49]
After one sorting [27 38 13] 49 [76 97 65 49]
After two sortings [13] 27 [38] 49 [49 65] 76 [97]
After three sortings After that 13 27 38 49 49 [65] 76 97
The final sorting result 13 27 38 49 49 65 76 97
The status after each sorting

        $k=$arr[0];

        $y=array();
        $_size=count($arr);        for($i=1;$i<$_size;$i++){            if($arr[$i]<=$k){
                $x[]=$arr[$i];
            }elseif($arr[$i]>$k){
                $y[]=$arr[$i];
            }

Explain JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and their use case in PHP APIs. Explain JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and their use case in PHP APIs. Apr 05, 2025 am 12:04 AM

JWT is an open standard based on JSON, used to securely transmit information between parties, mainly for identity authentication and information exchange. 1. JWT consists of three parts: Header, Payload and Signature. 2. The working principle of JWT includes three steps: generating JWT, verifying JWT and parsing Payload. 3. When using JWT for authentication in PHP, JWT can be generated and verified, and user role and permission information can be included in advanced usage. 4. Common errors include signature verification failure, token expiration, and payload oversized. Debugging skills include using debugging tools and logging. 5. Performance optimization and best practices include using appropriate signature algorithms, setting validity periods reasonably,
