PHP: Find unique number in array

A while ago, I signed up at https://www.codewars.com/ to practice both my PHP and JS skills. I decided to publish my results and to compare them with the best practice solution if found, thus, here we go.

Task:

  • Given an array with at least three numbers.
  • All numbers are equal except one.
  • Find the unique number.

My solution:

<?php
function find_uniq(array $array): int {
  sort($array);
  if ( $array[0] === $array[1] ) rsort($array);
  return $array[0];
}

Best practice:

<?php
function find_uniq($a) {
  sort($a);
  return ($a[0] === $a[1]) ? end($a) : current($a);
}

JavaScript30 – Day 15.5

Seems I was too focused on https://javascriptforwp.com/courses/bootcamp-jan-march-2019/ today. Just realized that I need to leave the hotel and won’t have time to take care of my daily exercises of https://javascript30.com today. Am I regretting this? Well, a bit. But I learned a lot about DOM handling today. And, on a side note, I got my VITAS in Singapore, which is the first step towards my KITAS and KITAP. Thus, it had been a successful and valuable day after all.
