Sample Solution:
PHP Code:
<?php
// Read the number of test cases from standard input
fscanf(STDIN, '%d', $n);
// Loop through each test case
for ($i = 0; $i < $n; $i++) {
// Read the string from standard input
fscanf(STDIN, '%s', $s);
// Convert the string to an array of characters
$s = str_split($s);
// Sort the array of characters in descending order
rsort($s);
// Convert the sorted array back to an integer to get the largest number
$a = (int) implode('', $s);
// Sort the array of characters in ascending order
sort($s);
// Convert the sorted array back to an integer to get the smallest number
$b = (int) implode('', $s);
// Output the difference between the largest and smallest integers
echo "Difference between the largest integer and the smallest integer:\n";
echo $a - $b;
echo PHP_EOL;
}
?>
