PHP Exercises: Check a specified number is present in a given array of integers

PHP Basic Algorithm: Exercise-32 with Solution

Write a PHP program to check a specified number is present in a given array of integers.

Sample Solution:

PHP Code :

<?php
// Define a function that checks if a given number is present in an array of numbers
function test($nums, $n)
{
    // Use in_array function to check if the number is present in the array
    if (in_array($n, $nums)) {
        return true;
    }

    // Return false if the number is not found in the array
    return false;
}

// Test the function with different arrays and numbers
var_dump(test(array(1,2,9,3), 3));
var_dump(test(array(1,2,2,3), 2));
var_dump(test(array(1,2,2,3), 9));
?>

Explanation:

• Function Definition:
• The test function takes two parameters: an array of numbers $nums and a number $n to check for in the array.
• Check for Number in Array:
• The in_array() function is used to check if $n is present in $nums.
• If $n is found, the function returns true.
• Return False if Not Found:
• If $n is not in $nums, the function returns false.

Output:

bool(true)
bool(true)
bool(false)
