// Function definition for 'take' that takes an array of items and an optional parameter '$n' (default value is 1)
function take($items, $n = 1)
{
    // Use 'array_slice' to return the first '$n' elements of the array
    return array_slice($items, 0, $n);
}

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

// Display a newline
echo "\n";

// Call 'take' with another array and a specified number of elements to take, then display the result using 'print_r'
