PHP Basic Algorithm: Exercise-27 with Solution
Write a PHP program to count the string "aa" in a given string and assume "aaa" contains two "aa".
Sample Solution:
PHP Code :
<?php
// Define a function that counts the occurrences of the substring "aa" in the input string
function test($s)
{
// Initialize a counter for occurrences of "aa"
$ctr_aa = 0;
// Iterate through the string, checking for occurrences of "aa"
for ($i = 0; $i < (strlen($s) - 1); $i++) {
if (substr($s, $i, 2) == "aa") {
$ctr_aa++;
}
}
// Return the count of occurrences
return $ctr_aa;
}
// Test the function with different input strings
echo test("bbaaccaag") . "\n";
echo test("jjkiaaasew") . "\n";
echo test("JSaaakoiaa") . "\n";
