PHP array learning: Compare array elements and obtain the first and second largest values
PHP array learning: Compare array elements and obtain the first and second largest values
In the previous article, we introduced the method of using the bubble algorithm to sort the array elements in ascending order. If you are interested, you can click on the link to read → "PHP Array Learning: Using the Bubble Algorithm to Sort the Elements in Ascending Order ! 》. This time we continue the PHP array learning series and introduce the method of comparing array elements and obtaining the first and second largest values.
The theme of this article is: "Given a set of numbers, calculate its maximum and second maximum values".
Implementation idea: Use an array to wrap this set of numbers, so this will involve comparing the size of the array elements
Set two variables$max and $secMax are used to store the maximum value and the second maximum value obtained. However, you need to assign initial values to everyone first, assigning the first element and the second element of the array to them. But make sure $max is larger than $secMax, so you have to make a judgment
if ($arr[0] > $arr[1]){//这个if是为了防止出现数组第一个值就是最大值
$secMax = $arr[1];
} else if ($arr[0] < $arr[1]){
$max = $arr[1];
}and then use a for loop to continuously traverse the $arr array. [If you don’t understand, you can read the article "PHP Loop Learning 3: How to use for loop statements to traverse arrays"]
for ($i = 0;$i< count($arr);$i++){ //循环数组
//循环体
}In the loop body, continue to $max , $secMax is compared with each value of the array ($arr[$i]):
if
$arr[$ i]is greater than$max, then assign the$maxvalue to$secMax, and$arr[$i]Assign to$max,
if ($arr[$i] > $max){
$secMax = $max;
$max = $arr[$i];
}and if
$arr[$i]is less than$ max, but$arr[$i]is greater than$secMax, then only$secMaxand$arr[$i] are exchanged, copy$arr[$i]to$secMax.
if ($arr[$i] < $max && $arr[$i] > $secMax){
$secMax = $arr[$i];
}By continuing to compare like this, you can ensure that $max stores the maximum value of the array, and $secMax stores the second largest value of the array.
Let’s take a look at the complete implementation code:
function takeNum($arr){
//定义了两个变量$max和$secMax来存放最大和第二大的数值
$max = $arr[0];
$secMax = $arr[0];
if ($arr[0] > $arr[1]){//这个if是为了防止出现数组第一个值就是最大值
$secMax = $arr[1];
} else if ($arr[0] < $arr[1]){
$max = $arr[1];
}
for ($i = 0;$i< count($arr);$i++){//循环数组
if ($arr[$i] > $max){
$secMax = $max;
$max = $arr[$i];
} else if ($arr[$i] < $max && $arr[$i] > $secMax){
$secMax = $arr[$i];
}
}
echo "最大值为".$max."，第二大值为".$secMax;
}Test it: define the following array, call the takeNum($arr) function to see the output
$arr = array(555,5,1,429,18,21,52,2,52,9,3,); takeNum($arr);
It can be seen that the first largest value is 555 and the second largest value is 429; see if the output result is this:
OK, the output result is correct .
Next let’s talk about the knowledge points used. There is no need to say more about loops (you can read the article "PHP Loop Learning Series Summary"), let’s give you a brief introduction if else statement.
The if else statement is a type of execution based on conditional judgment in process control. When this statement is executed, the condition is first judged, and then the corresponding operation is made based on the judgment result. It can be subdivided into three types, namely if statement, if...else statement, if...else if...else statement.
The syntax of if statement:
if (判断条件) {
语句块;
}if...else The syntax of statement:
if (判断条件) {
语句块 1;
} else {
语句块 2;
}if...else The syntax of if...else statement:
if (判断条件 1) {
语句块 1;
} else if (判断条件 2) {
语句块 2;
} else if (判断条件 3) {
语句块 3;
}

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,

Explain late static binding in PHP (static::).
Apr 03, 2025 am 12:04 AM
Static binding (static::) implements late static binding (LSB) in PHP, allowing calling classes to be referenced in static contexts rather than defining classes. 1) The parsing process is performed at runtime, 2) Look up the call class in the inheritance relationship, 3) It may bring performance overhead.
