To find the number

[sandy1028]

Hi,

 

How to find the maximum value from the file.

 

$lines = file('data.txt');
       foreach ($lines as $line) {
       $text_line = explode(":",$line);

In $text_line[2] i should find the maximum value and average value....
using max($text_line[2]) I am getting error

if your values are in a array use asort(your array in here) and sort the array and the last one will be your max value

just use print_r the array and chk the results...

That is because $text_line[2] only has a single value.

 

It's like saying max(7) and expecting to get the largest number.

 

What you want to do is keep storing $text_line[2] into $arr[count($arr)], then at the end of the for each do a max $arr.

u should give max($text_line) ......... $text_line is a array if i have understood properly

hi,

 

The $text_line[2] is not an array.....

The result in $text_line[2] is

 

23 45 23 634 235 35345 453

 

In this line I need the largest and the average number

 

 

[dg]

ok ... than explode $text_line[2] on space ... and than apply the max function.....

[dg]

and for average u can use array_sum divided by count

How to find the large number when read from the text file.

 

In the file the $text_line[2] is the numerical values.

How to find the largest number

 

When I print the $text_line[2]

output is 32  23  23  34  23  56  23  222  123  67

 

To sort as array and find the maximum value this is not the array

 

Any help regarding this to find the large number

 

[dg]

as what u said earlier ... it seems $text_line[2] is a string of 32  23  23  34  23  56  23  222  123  67 ........ is it ....

so make it a array

like

$aTest = explode(' ',  $text_line[2]);

 

// to get max value

  max($aTest);

 

// to get average ...

  array_sum($aTest)/count($aTest);

 

hope this is wht u want ......

hi,

 

Ok thanks.....

 

Convert string values to integer because 122 is greater than 99.
