Is there any more professional or easier way to achieve a PHP for loop, that also iterates when there are only remaining elements? (In the current example: 1126)
<?php
$max = 11126;
$step = 2000;
for ($i = 0; $i < $max; null) {
if ($max - $i > $step) {
$i += $step;
} else {
$i += $max - $i;
}
echo($i . ", ");
}
?>
Outpts:
2000, 4000, 6000, 8000, 10000, 11126,
...which is correct, but looks like too much of code.
Well, as the loop already has the continue decision, there is always something to output because $max is already the exit:
Example/Demo:
for ($i = 0; ($i += $step) < $max;) {
echo $i, ', ';
}
echo $max;
Program Output:
2000, 4000, 6000, 8000, 10000, 11126
All what follows is just some older playing around... .
To create exactly your output (with the comma at the end) you can use a different kind of loop that checks to loop after it looped:
Example/Demo:
$i = 0;
do {
$i += $step;
echo min($i, $max), ', ';
} while ($i < $max);
Program Output:
2000, 4000, 6000, 8000, 10000, 11126,
Or why not a for loop with having the output in the pre-condition?
Example/Demo:
for (
$i = 0;
printf('%d, ', min($i += $step, $max))
&& ($i < $max);
);
Program Output:
2000, 4000, 6000, 8000, 10000, 11126,
I don't know if my solution is more 'professionnal' but it gives you a different one at least ;)
$showSteps = function($max, $step) {
$arr = array();
for ($i = $step; $i <= $max; $i = $i + $step) {
$arr[] = $i;
}
if (($max % $step) > 0) {
$arr[] = intval($max/$step) * $step + $max % $step;
}
print implode(', ', $arr);
};
$showSteps(11126, 2000);
