➡ Traversable cannot be implemented* ➡ Traversable can be detected (instanceof). 13

➡ Traversable cannot be implemented* ➡ Traversable can be detected (instanceof). ➡ foreach() detects traversable interfaces and does magic things. 13

43 “Recursive” iterators add the POSSIBILITY to recursively iterate over data. You still need to implement it!

Slide 79

Slide 79 text

44 RecursiveCallbackFilterIterator

Slide 80

Slide 80 text

➡ Enables recursivity ➡ Is a filter iterator (does not necessarily return all the elements) ➡ Filters through a callback function. 45

Slide 81

Slide 81 text

46 SPL Iterators,..

Slide 82

Slide 82 text

➡ It has “quirks” that are easily solvable (but breaks BC) ➡ Documentation is not always up to date. ➡ Naming is VERY confusing (caching iterator, recursiveIterator, seekableIterator) ➡ But the iterators are worth it! 47

Slide 83

Slide 83 text

48 DATA STRUCTURES

Slide 84

Slide 84 text

49 ➡ SplDoublyLinkedList ➡ SplStack ➡ SplQueue ➡ SplHeap ➡ SplMinHeap ➡ SplMaxHeap ➡ SplPriorityQueue ➡ SplFixedArray ➡ SplObjectStorage

Slide 85

Slide 85 text

50 ➡ Every data structure has its strength and weaknesses. ➡ Big-Oh O(1), O(n), O(log n) etc... ➡ Balance between time (CPU) and space (memory) ➡ PHP arrays are quite good! ➡ But sometimes other data structures are better.

Slide 123
