Below programs illustrate the Ds\Map::ksorted() function in PHP:
Program 1:
<?php // PHP program to illustrate ksorted() function // Declare a Map $map = new \Ds\Map([1 => 20, 3 => 10, 2 => 30]); // Print the sorted copy of Map by key print_r($map->ksorted()); ?> |
Output:
Ds\Map Object
(
[0] => Ds\Pair Object
(
[key] => 1
[value] => 20
)
[1] => Ds\Pair Object
(
[key] => 2
[value] => 30
)
[2] => Ds\Pair Object
(
[key] => 3
[value] => 10
)
)
Program 2:
<?php // PHP program to illustrate ksorted() function // Declare a Map $map = new \Ds\Map(["x" => "Geeks", "a" => "for", "z" => "Geeks"]); // Print the sorted copy Map print_r($map->ksorted()); ?> |
Output:
Ds\Map Object
(
[0] => Ds\Pair Object
(
[key] => a
[value] => for
)
[1] => Ds\Pair Object
(
[key] => x
[value] => Geeks
)
[2] => Ds\Pair Object
(
[key] => z
[value] => Geeks
)
)
