Solution
Your task was to implement a PHP script that uses ArrayIterator
for basic array operations. This script iterates through an array and echoes its elements with a dot separator. Your challenge was to extend and enhance the script by implementing more advanced array operations using ArrayIterator
.

PHP
<?php$arr = ['Person', 'Woman', 'Man', 'Camera', 'TV'];$iterator = new ArrayIterator($arr);// Question 1a: Find and display the first element in the array.$firstElement = $iterator->current();echo "First Element: $firstElement\n";// Question 1b: Find and display the last element in the array.$iterator->seek(count($arr) - 1);$lastElement = $iterator->current();echo "Last Element: $lastElement\n";// Question 1c: Check if the array contains the word "Camera" and display a message accordingly.$iterator->rewind();while ($iterator->valid()) {if ($iterator->current() === 'Camera') {echo "Array contains 'Camera'.\n";break;}$iterator->next();}// Question 1d: Remove the element "Man" from the array and display the updated array.$iterator->rewind();while ($iterator->valid()) {if ($iterator->current() === 'Man') {$iterator->offsetUnset($iterator->key());}$iterator->next();}// Question 2: Implement error handling for removing an element that doesn't exist.try {$iterator->offsetUnset('NonExistent'); // This will not throw an error.} catch (OutOfBoundsException $e) {echo "Error: " . $e->getMessage() . "\n";}// Display the updated array.$updatedArray = iterator_to_array($iterator);echo "Updated Array: " . implode(', ', $updatedArray) . "\n";?>
Let’s get into the code.
