PHP | Ds\Sequence allocate() Function

The Ds\Sequence::allocate() function is an inbuilt function in PHP which is used to allocate enough memory for required capacity.

Syntax:

void abstract public Ds\Sequence::allocate ( int $capacity )

Parameter: This function accepts single parameter $capacity which indicate number of capacity allocated.

Return value: This function does not return any values.

Below programs illustrate the Ds\Sequence::allocate() function in PHP:

Example 1:




<?php
  
// Create new sequence
$seq = new \Ds\Vector();
  
// Use capacity() function to 
// display the capacity
var_dump($seq->capacity());
  
// Allocate capacity
$seq->allocate(50);
  
// Display capacity
var_dump($seq->capacity());
  
// Allocate capacity
$seq->allocate(80);
  
// Display capacity
var_dump($seq->capacity());
?>


Output:

int(8)
int(50)
int(80)

Example 2:




<?php
  
// Create new sequence
$seq = new \Ds\Vector();
  
// Declare capacity array
$arr = array(10, 20, 30, 40);
  
// Loop run for every array element  
foreach ($arr as $val) {  
      
    // Allocate capacity
    $seq->allocate($val);
  
    // Display capacity
    var_dump($seq->capacity());
}
  
?>


Output:

int(10)
int(20)
int(30)
int(40)
