PHP Exercises: Concat two given strings. If the given strings have different length remove the characters from the longer string
PHP Basic Algorithm: Exercise-81 with Solution
Write a PHP program to concat two given strings. If the given strings have different length remove the characters from the longer string.
Sample Solution:
PHP Code :
<?php
// Define a function named 'test' that concatenates two strings in a specific way
// The resulting string will have the length of the longer input string
function test($s1, $s2)
{
// Check if the length of $s1 is less than the length of $s2
if (strlen($s1) < strlen($s2))
{
// Concatenate $s1 with the end portion of $s2 to make their lengths equal
return $s1 . substr($s2, strlen($s2) - strlen($s1));
}
// Check if the length of $s1 is greater than the length of $s2
else if (strlen($s1) > strlen($s2))
{
// Concatenate the end portion of $s1 with $s2 to make their lengths equal
return substr($s1, strlen($s1) - strlen($s2)) . $s2;
}
// If lengths are equal, simply concatenate the two strings
else
{
return $s1 . $s2;
}
}
// Test the 'test' function with different pairs of strings, then display the results
echo test("abc", "abcd") . "\n";
echo test("Python", "Python") . "\n";
echo test("JS", "Python") . "\n";
?>
