PHP Exercises: Check if a given number is within 2 of a multiple of 10

PHP Basic Algorithm: Exercise-43 with Solution

Write a PHP program to check if a given number is within 2 of a multiple of 10.

Sample Solution:

PHP Code :

<?php
// Define a function that checks if the last digit of a number is less than or equal to 2 OR greater than or equal to 8
function test($n)
{
    // Check if the remainder of $n divided by 10 is less than or equal to 2 OR greater than or equal to 8
    return $n % 10 <= 2 || $n % 10 >= 8;
}

// Test the function with different values
var_dump(test(3));
var_dump(test(7));
var_dump(test(8));
var_dump(test(21));
?>

Explanation:

• Function Definition:
• The test function checks if the last digit of a given number $n is within a specific range.
• Condition Checked:
• The function evaluates whether the last digit of $n:
• Is less than or equal to 2 (i.e., $n % 10 <= 2), OR
• Is greater than or equal to 8 (i.e., $n % 10 >= 8).
• This is done by checking the remainder when $n is divided by 10, which gives the last digit of $n.

Output:

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

Previous: Write a PHP program to check if a given non-negative given number is a multiple of 3 or 7, but not both.
Next: Write a PHP program to compute the sum of the two given integers. If one of the given integer value is in the range 10..20 inclusive return 18.
