PHP Exercises: Create a new array with n elements removed from the left

PHP: Exercise-80 with Solution

Write a PHP program to create a new array with n elements removed from the left.

Sample Solution:

PHP Code:

<?php
// Function definition for 'drop_from_left' that takes an array of items and an optional parameter '$n' (default value is 1)
function drop_from_left($items, $n = 1)
{
    // Use 'array_slice' to remove the first '$n' elements from the array
    return array_slice($items, $n);
}

// Call 'drop_from_left' with an array and display the result using 'print_r'
print_r(drop_from_left([1, 2, 3]));

// Call 'drop_from_left' with an array and a specified number of elements to drop, then display the result using 'print_r'
print_r(drop_from_left([1, 2, 3, 4], 2));

?>

Sample Output:

Array
(
    [0] => 2
    [1] => 3
)
Array
(
    [0] => 3
    [1] => 4
)
