PHP Exercises: Reads an integer n and find the number of combinations

PHP: Exercise-51 with Solution

Write a PHP program which reads an integer n and find the number of combinations of a,b,c and d (0 ≤ a,b,c,d ≤ 9) where (a + b + c + d) will be equal to n.

Input:
n (1 ≤ n ≤ 50) .

Sample Solution:

PHP Code:

<?php
// Continue reading input until an empty line is encountered
while (($input = trim(fgets(STDIN))) !== '') {
    // Convert the input string to an integer
    $input = intval($input);

    // Initialize a counter for the number of combinations
    $count = 0;

    // Nested loops to iterate over all possible combinations of a, b, c, and d
    for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
        for ($j = 0; $j < 10; $j++) {
            for ($k = 0; $k < 10; $k++) {
                for ($l = 0; $l < 10; $l++) {
                    // Check if the sum of a, b, c, and d equals the input
                    if ($i + $j + $k + $l === $input) {
                        // Increment the counter for each valid combination
                        $count++;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

    // Print the number of combinations for the given input
    echo "\nNumber of combinations of a, b, c, and d: ";
    echo $count . "\n";
}

?>

Sample Output:

Number of combinations of a,b,c and d: 56
