Hi, I'm making a script so that it can read in a file that has 2 numbers each line and break it down so they become usable data. I named n1 (number 1) and n2 (number2).
If I have a set of numbers:
eg:
N1 N2
12 4
14 2
2 5
and I wanted the computer to subtract N2 and N1 starting from the bigggest number (in this case, 14 and 2) how can I get it to determine which number is the biggest and subtract it with N2?
<!--------------MY PHP SCRIPT SO FAR-------------!>
<?php
$fp = fopen ("read.txt","r");
for ($y = 0; $y <=5; $y++) # Do this program 5 times
{
$rd = trim(fgets($fp,100));#the number that determines how many times file needs to be read
for ($x = 0; $x < $rd; $x++)
{
$fr = gets($fp,256); #reading the individual numbers
list ($n1,$n2) = explode (" ",$fr);
$An1 [$x] = $n1;#breaking down into an array for sorting and search
$An2 [$x] = $n2;# n2 array
rsort ($An1);
echo "
".$An1 [$x];
}
}
fclose($fp);
?>
