PHP预定义函数 - count - 在多维数组中返回一个奇怪的(对我来说)值?
I started learning PHP from a book and I got a list of useful PHP commands(sort, count, is_array ect.)
I tried using count() but it seems tricky to me.
count($chessboard, 0) outputs 8 and that's fine I think (because it has 8 rows, I get it) but when I use count($chessboard, 1) it outputs 72 and I don't get why.
In my opinion I think it should output 64 (because 8 rows * 8 columns or 8 rows * 8 elements per row).
Why does it output 64?
<?php
$chessboard = array(
array('r', 'n', 'b', 'q', 'k', 'b', 'n', 'r'),
array('p', 'p', 'p', 'p', 'p', 'p', 'p', 'p'),
array(' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' '),
array(' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' '),
array(' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' '),
array(' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' '),
array('P', 'P', 'P', 'P', 'P', 'P', 'P', 'P'),
array('R', 'N', 'B', 'Q', 'K', 'B', 'N', 'R')
);
echo count($chessboard, 1);
</div>
我从一本书开始学习PHP,我得到了一个有用的PHP命令列表(sort,count,is_array等。 ) p>
我尝试使用count()但对我来说似乎很棘手。 p>
count($ chessboard,0)输出8,我认为这很好(因为它有8行,我得到它)但是当我使用count($ chessboard,1)时它输出72 我不明白为什么。 p>
我认为它应该输出64(因为8行* 8列或8行*每行8个元素)。 p> \ n
为什么输出64? p>

When you pass 1
as the second parameter to count()
, it counts recursively - so for the first level it counts 8 items (meaning 8 sub-arrays) and then proceeds to second level, where it encounters 8 items in each sub-array. Thus 8 + 8 * 8 = 72.
You have inserted multiple arrays inside an array and passed the mode '1' to count()
. This makes it count recursively and it starts counting the sub arrays inside the main array which has 8 sub arrays in your case. So 8 is the number of count for the first case i.e. main array has 8 sub arrays. Then it starts counting recursively another 8 subarrays which gives u a total 64. So here, 64+8=72. Hope it helps.
