PHP Exercises: Compute the sum of two given non-negative integers x and y as long as the sum has the same number of digits as x

PHP Basic Algorithm: Exercise-53 with Solution

Write a PHP program to compute the sum of two given non-negative integers x and y as long as the sum has the same number of digits as x. If the sum has more digits than x then return x without y.

Sample Solution:

PHP Code :

<?php
// Define a function named 'test' that compares the length of the sum of two numbers with the length of the first number
// If the sum has a greater length, return the first number; otherwise, return the sum
function test($x, $y)
{
    // Check if the length of the sum of $x and $y is greater than the length of $x
    // If true, return $x; otherwise, return the sum of $x and $y
    return strlen((string)($x + $y)) > strlen((string)$x) ? $x : $x + $y;
}

// Test the 'test' function with different input values and display the results
echo (test(4, 5))."\n";
echo (test(7, 4))."\n";
echo (test(10, 10))."\n";
?>

Explanation:

• Function Definition:
• The test function takes two arguments, $x and $y, and checks the length of the sum of these two numbers compared to the length of $x.
• Condition:
• The function converts both the sum of $x and $y and $x individually to strings and compares their lengths.
• If the length of the sum is greater than the length of $x, it returns $x.
• Otherwise, it returns the sum of $x and $y.

Output:

9
7
20

Previous: Write a PHP program to check two given integers, each in the range 10..99. Return true if a digit appears in both numbers, such as the 3 in 13 and 33.
Next: Write a PHP program to compute the sum of three given integers. If the two values are same return the third value.
