Another common thing to do with arrays is sort them. Handily enough, PHP has a sort()
function for just such an occasion!
$array = array(5, 3, 7, 1);
sort($array);
print join(", ", $array);
// prints "1, 3, 5, 7"
PHP also has the opposite function:rsort()
.
$array = array(5, 3, 7 ,1);
rsort($array);
print join(":", $array);
// prints "7:5:3:1"
Lastly, we use join(glue, array)
so we can easily print out the representations of our sorted arrays in this exercise.
For this exercise, we'll use a comma (,
) as the glue.
