Overview of this book

PHP has always been the the go-to language for web based application development, but there are materials and resources you can refer to to see how it works. Data structures and algorithms help you to code and execute them effectively, cutting down on processing time significantly. If you want to explore data structures and algorithms in a practical way with real-life projects, then this book is for you. The book begins by introducing you to data structures and algorithms and how to solve a problem from beginning to end using them. Once you are well aware of the basics, it covers the core aspects like arrays, listed lists, stacks and queues. It will take you through several methods of finding efficient algorithms and show you which ones you should implement in each scenario. In addition to this, you will explore the possibilities of functional data structures using PHP and go through advanced algorithms and graphs as well as dynamic programming. By the end, you will be confident enough to tackle both basic and advanced data structures, understand how they work, and know when to use them in your day-to-day work

Implementing struct using a PHP array

As we already know, a struct is a complex data type where we define multiple properties as a group so that we can use it as a single data type. We can write a struct using a PHP array and class. Here is an example of a struct using a PHP array:

$player = [ 
"name" => "Ronaldo",
"country" => "Portugal",
"age" => 31,
"currentTeam" => "Real Madrid"
];

It is simply an associative array with keys as string. A complex struct can be constructed using single or more constructs as its properties. For example using the player struct, we can use a team struct:

$ronaldo = [ 
"name" => "Ronaldo",
"country" => "Portugal",
"age" => 31,
"currentTeam" => "Real Madrid&quot...
