PHP exercise

[boreal glacier]

PHP doesn't support multiple return statements, only the first one will be executed (https://3v4l.org/34RDY).

You need to use the provided function arguments to calculate the times and not return just numbers, try reading the documentation on function arguments and arithmetic operators, that should give you the information you need to solve this exercise.

https://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.arguments.php
https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.arithmetic.php

Some of PHP's documentation has been translated to other languages apart from English, so you might find another language in there that's easier to understand.

Sharing code blocks (instead of screenshots) will increase your chance of getting help (and is a part of community etiquette, which is also recommended in error messages). Thanks for your understanding!

You enclose the beginning and end of the code with triple backticks (`).
Note, use backticks (`), not single quotation marks (').

For example, you can type the following:
The ``` must be on their own line.

```
not wrapped
```

Discord will render that as:

wrapped!

Happy coding!

[turbid surge]

Can you share your code in a codeblock?

[turbid surge]

See #1213148398031601664 message

jun-kazama told you how.

[cinder ravine]

Increase your chance of getting help and look like a pro by sharing codeblocks not images. For example, you can type the following. Note, the ``` must be on their own line.
```
for number in range(10):
total += number;
```
Discord will render that as so:

for number in range(10):
    total += number;

[turbid surge]

@near knoll Does that help?

[turbid surge]

That doesn't look like valid code

Are you completely new to programming?

[near knoll]

the screenshot show

I'll a re-write coding

[turbid surge]

Images are harder for me to read. Text is easier.

[near knoll]

class Lasagna
{

public function expectedCookTime()
{
    return 40;
}

public function remainingCookTime($elapsed_minutes)
{
    return 20;
        
}

public function totalPreparationTime($layers_to_prep)
{
    return 10;

    return ;       

 }

[turbid surge]

What's the last return line do in the last function?
What tests fail? What's the output (as a codeblock)?

[near knoll]

disconsider last return;

the test fail question are the screenshot because the reason

[near knoll]

i need a returns how many minutes more the lasagna must be in the oven when it is 30 minutes in the oven already
but the return need be a interger value in the function

[turbid surge]

Could you share the failure as NOT screenshot? Text in a codeblock?

You're describing the failure in vague terms. The exact test details would help

[cinder ravine]

Asking questions well increases your chance of getting help. Learn how to write good support requests in this article: http://bit.ly/howto-ask

[near knoll]

yes i can

[near knoll]

one moment please

the error are i can't return for interger value
the question talsks are returns how many minutes the lasagna must be in the oven when it is 30 minutes in the oven already

the function ($layers_to_prep, $elapsed_minutes)

you can understand ?

[turbid surge]

Can you copy/paste the full test output?

Run test -> Test Failure -> Select All -> Copy -> Discord -> ``` + paste + ```

[near knoll]

can i message dm you?

[turbid surge]

No thank you. You can copy/paste the test output here

That way anyone can help out, not just me

[near knoll]

basically i have a return many minutes remaining

but interger value

LasagnaTest::testAnotherRemainingCookTime
Failed asserting that 20 matches expected 10.

/mnt/exercism-iteration/LasagnaTest.php:51

[turbid surge]

Can you also copy paste the test "CODE RUN"?

[near knoll]

sorry mate
was me mistake

[turbid surge]

Ideally in a codeblock, but... 🤷‍♂️

​​1. Do you understand what the test is doing?
2. Do you understand what the test is expecting and why?
3. Do you understand what your code returns and how it differs?
4. Do you understand why your code is returning what it returns?

​​1. Você entende o que o teste está fazendo?
2. Você entende o que o teste espera e por quê?
3. Você entende o que seu código retorna e como ele difere?
4. Você entende por que seu código está retornando o que retorna?

[near knoll]

$lasagna = new Lasagna();
$this->assertEquals(10, $lasagna->remainingCookTime(30));

[turbid surge]

Do you understand what the test is doing? <> Você entende o que o teste está fazendo?

[near knoll]

yes i can understand
the test need a return many minutes the lasagna need stay in the oven after being in the oven for 30 minutes

[turbid surge]

Do you understand what this test expects the result to be, and why? Você entende o que este teste espera que seja o resultado e por quê?

[near knoll]

yes , sim entendo
after 30 minutes the answer its 10 because the total time are a definied in the top of the program = 40
but i can't return this value as a interger

[turbid surge]

Why not?

[near knoll]

i don't know answer

i have no idea
the logical i understand

[turbid surge]

What is the logic?

[near knoll]

i have 2 parameters layers and elapsed
layers are defined before its a 10
and the previous question the elapsedtime this is equal 20

[turbid surge]

The number of layers here does not matter

The function needs to determine how many minutes remain based on the elapsed minutes.

If 30 minutes elapsed, how many minutes remain?

Each unit test is independent from all the other unit tests

[near knoll]

in this case it's 10 because the total cooked time it's 40

but total cookie time parameter aren't in this function

[boreal glacier]

As I said previously, you should look at the PHP documentation as well to learn the syntax, the introduction for this PHP exercise also contains all you need to solve the exercise.
https://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.user-defined.php
https://exercism.org/tracks/php/exercises/lasagna

[turbid surge]

The total time is always the same

How do you get 10? Can you explain the logic/steps?

@near knoll ?

[near knoll]

it's true
total its 40
but already 30 minutes in the oven
remaining 10 to 40

@turbid surge be patient kkkk I'm a learning

[turbid surge]

Can you show you to get 10 using math?

Or even algebra?

[near knoll]

did you only make me ask
i need to explain a solve this task

[turbid surge]

You need math to solve this task, yes

[near knoll]

yes, but you only make asks, not expalin how solve this task

some explain me solve this task

?

[turbid surge]

Yes. I know how to solve this task. I am helping you figure out how to solve this task.

total its 40
but already 30 minutes in the oven
remaining 10 to 40
Can you show this using math?

[near knoll]

yes, its true
the value always the same you was talking before

[near knoll]

the values ​​I put as an answer in the previous questions and exercism showed that it was right, that's why I thought the variable had a defined value
sorry, I understood that the variable had defined values ​​based on previous answers

[turbid surge]

No. Each test is completely separate.

How you show how to get 10 using math?

[near knoll]

again
total cookie time = 40
but he's in the oven 30 minutes
remain 10 minutes to 40 total time

this is my think

[turbid surge]

Can you do that using math operators? Plus minus times divide? + = * /?

[near knoll]

operator -

[turbid surge]

What's the full equation?

[near knoll]

40-30

[turbid surge]

Awesome. That's getting somewhere.

What if 30 is $elapsed_minutes ?

[near knoll]

i need a solve task

[turbid surge]

How many minutes remains after $elapsed_minutes time? Using math?

[near knoll]

i dont know

no idea

[turbid surge]

If 30 minutes elapsed, how much time is left (using math)?

If 30 minutes elapsed, how many minutes remain?
=> 40 - 30
If $elapsed_minutes minutes elapsed, how many minutes remain?
=> ???

See the pattern?

[near knoll]

wait
i need the answer low
i thinking know the wrong way

i dont make any operation in this code
i put on return the value direct, dont math operator

return = 10

[turbid surge]

You need math since the elapsed time can change

[near knoll]

seems like the value return always undefined ?
interger

its true

?

but i nedd define the variable math before?

need*

[turbid surge]

The variable is passed into the function. It is $elapsed_minutes. The value of that variable changes depending how the function is called.

new Lasagna()->remainingCookTime(10);
new Lasagna()->remainingCookTime(20);
new Lasagna()->remainingCookTime(30);

[near knoll]

and after the parameter with a math cointained a variable

[turbid surge]

Yes

[near knoll]

the function need solve its ElapsedTIme

now i understand better

[turbid surge]

$elapsed_minutes

[near knoll]

i'm

finally kkkk

[turbid surge]

ElapsedTime and $elapsed_minutes are not the same thing 🙂

[near knoll]

you're a really patient with me

[turbid surge]

I try 😄 Thank you

[near knoll]

how is called what do you make here?

[turbid surge]

I don't understand

[near knoll]

ignore

i'm tried to pass the variable for math

[turbid surge]

Did it work?
If not, can you share your code and the test output?

[near knoll]

yes

i'm trying it

public function totalElapsedTime($layers_to_prep, $elapsed_minutes)
    {
          new Lasagna()->remainingCookTime(10);
          new Lasagna()->remainingCookTime(20);  
          new Lasagna()->remainingCookTime(30);      
          return $elapsed_minutes(40) - $remaingCookTime(30);

    }

$lasagna = new Lasagna();
$this->assertEquals(40, $lasagna->expectedCookTime());

``````´

[turbid surge]

What is the test failure message?

[near knoll]

one moment

[near knoll]

LasagnaTest::testExpectedCookTime
ParseError: syntax error, unexpected token "->"

[earnest stag]

Excuse me for interrupting. I translated how to create code blocks into Portuguese.

Compartilhar blocos de código (em vez de capturas de tela) aumentará suas chances de obter ajuda (e faz parte da etiqueta da comunidade, que também é recomendada em mensagens de erro).

Você envolve o início e o fim do código com três acentos graves (`).
Observação: use acentos graves (`), não aspas simples (').

Por exemplo, você pode digitar o seguinte:
O ``` deve estar em sua própria linha.

```
não envolvido
```

O Discord irá renderizar isso como:

envolvido!

Feliz codificação!

[turbid surge]

What is the totalElapsedTime function supposed to do?

[near knoll]

sorry
i go to the sleep
lol

[turbid surge]

Sleep is important!

[near knoll]

contaim inside () 2 variables

public function totalElapsedTime($layers_to_prep, $elapsed_minutes)

to be honest what a need its the remain time when stay at 30 minutes in the oven
but what's the fucntion to do i'm a loser

[turbid surge]

It doesn't say "30" anywhere there

Nor do I see "remain" anywhere there

[near knoll]

sorry

[turbid surge]

Step one: understand what the function is supposed to do

You can't solve without knowing what you are solving

[near knoll]

public function totalElapsedTime($layers_to_prep, $elapsed_minutes)
    {
          new Lasagna()->remainingCookTime(10);
          new Lasagna()->remainingCookTime(20);  
          new Lasagna()->remainingCookTime(30);      
          return $elapsed_minutes(40) - $remaingCookTime(30);

    }

yes the function need total time - remain cooking time consider stay 30 minutes already, on this case how many remaining minutes need return

Yes, you have to calculate how many minutes are left considering that there are already 30 minutes in the oven

[turbid surge]

No. 30 is not part of the problem. There might be 5 minutes or 15 or 30 in the oven.

It varies.

It asks you to compute the total elapsed time. What math would you use to calculate elapsed time?

[near knoll]

no idea

[turbid surge]

Did you read the instructions? Did you understand them?

[near knoll]

because there would have to be the total recipe time minus mathematical operation, the remaining time
I couldn't think straight

yes

i'm read again

now it's clear

the function have a 2 arguments
number of layers and minutes in the oven , on this case this number 30

[turbid surge]

👍

It could be 20 or 40 too

[near knoll]

yes because the function need rreturn total time cooking lasagna

would be sum the prepare minutes + cookink time minutes

[near knoll]

just which next step?

the problem in the language spoke are a solve
but i transformer this in a code

[near knoll]

need change these variables?

[near knoll]

could me explain better?

Teamates
We've been chatting here with you for 2 days and so far I can't
please give me the solution and explain how to do it, I want to move on to the next task

[turbid surge]

How did you solve the first function? Can you do something similar with this one?

Write it as math and use variables where numbers go

[near knoll]

in the first function I put 40 and the code worked
because it asked for a simple return like interger
but I can't do this

return 40;

my first function and the exercism is allright

[turbid surge]

Sorry. What about the second function?

[near knoll]

you ask me solve the first function

[near knoll]

class Lasagna
{
    public function expectedCookTime()
    {
        return 40;
    }

it's the correct the exercism show this

the first function solve this

[turbid surge]

Did you solve the second function?

[near knoll]

yes

the same way

[turbid surge]

Using a variable?

[near knoll]

but the value 20

[near knoll]

yes

[turbid surge]

You're second function is return 20?

[near knoll]

 public function remainingCookTime($elapsed_minutes)
    {
        return 20;
            
    }

[near knoll]

yes

[turbid surge]

That passes the test? That doesn't look right.

[near knoll]

yes
i'm not lie

[turbid surge]

Do you understand what a variable is?

Do you know how to use them in a function?

[near knoll]

ask me again ?

[turbid surge]

Do you understand what a variable is?

[near knoll]

yes

You do many asks isaac
troool

kkkkk

[near knoll]

yes i know the function but i'm a still learning

[turbid surge]

What should remainingCookTime(10) return?

[near knoll]

in the function remaining cookinh time
return 20

here

i put

10 its a layers i put

[turbid surge]

If 10 minutes elapsed, then 20 is the wrong result

[near knoll]

10 its a layers_to_prep

[near knoll]

yes i agree

[turbid surge]

 public function remainingCookTime($elapsed_minutes)
    {
        return 20;
            
    }

10 is $elapsed_minutes

Functions are supposed to return a value which changes based on the inputs

[near knoll]

this i can understand
but 10 in my code are layers_to_prep

this is because i didn't understand you explain here

if elapsed = 10 because return = 20
stiill i can't understand

[turbid surge]

If elapsed = 10, then what should it return?

Are you familiar with algebra?

[near knoll]

i know, but not totally familiar

@turbid surge in the code show elapsed = 20
why you say elapsed = 10?
i'm not understand the reason elapsed 10 value

[turbid surge]

Elapsed is a variable. It can hold any value. It's value is set when the function is called.

remainingCookTime(5) --> elapsed time is 5
remainingCookTime(30) --> elapsed time is 30
remainingCookTime(13) --> elapsed time is 13

[near knoll]

just in return i put the variable elapsed it's correct?

[turbid surge]

What should the remaining time be if elapsed is 10?

[near knoll]

30

10 + 30

40

[turbid surge]

If remaining time is y,
y = ?

[near knoll]

not understand

[turbid surge]

Remaining time is equal to ...?

What steps do I take to compute remaining time?

[near knoll]

isaac i want to finished this tasks

this night

do you have an solution for this code?

i answer wait a moment

[turbid surge]

Yes. But you won't learn by copy pasting a solution

[near knoll]

yes, if i don't learning

[turbid surge]

What's the purpose of doing the exercise, if not learning?

[near knoll]

remaining time is a variable
not a fix value

[near knoll]

yes i agree

[turbid surge]

If I know the elapsed time, how can I find out the remaining time? What do I need to do?

[near knoll]

need a math calculate the diference among expectedcookietime(first function) - elapsed minutes
the rest are the result

[turbid surge]

Oooh! Very good

That almost looks like code!

 expectedcookietime() - elapsed minutes

[near knoll]

but i haven't anyone in the code variabel cookie time only a function

[turbid surge]

Which function? What's the function name?

[near knoll]

here expectectcookietime is a function, but i haven't variable the cookietime
understand?

[near knoll]

i need make pass the function as a parameter

->

[turbid surge]

You said "first function"

What is the first function?

[near knoll]

expectedcookietime i mentioned kkkk
showing the screenshoot kkkkkk

trool

[turbid surge]

If you call me a troll, I could always ban you for being unappreciative of my time 😛

There is no function expectedcookietime() in your code. Look closer.

[near knoll]

sorry

[near knoll]

I was referring

 public function expectedCookTime()
    {
        return 40;
    }

i know it's a function, not a variable

[turbid surge]

What's the exact function name?

[near knoll]

I thought I needed the expected cooking time variable

[near knoll]

expectedCookTime

[turbid surge]

So

 expectedCookTime() - elapsed minutes

And what's the exact spelling of the elapsed minutes?

[near knoll]

$elapsed_minutes

[turbid surge]

So that give this, right?

 expectedCookTime() -  $elapsed_minutes

And what is your function supposed to do with that value?

[near knoll]

but i think need pass as the parameter using ->

expectedCookTime()->$elapsed_minutes

[turbid surge]

For the remainingCookTime()?

This gives the remaining cook time:

 expectedCookTime() -  $elapsed_minutes

[near knoll]

i didn't understand

[turbid surge]

Do you understand what this code does?

 expectedCookTime() -  $elapsed_minutes

[near knoll]

morning mate
yes the function are transforming as a variable-> just i cal that variable on return in the end of the code

seems like

expectedCookTime()->$elapsed_minutes
return $elapsed_minutes

firts transformer or pass the function as a variable
after called the variable

[near knoll]

Hi Morning
Some can help me this a task

[near knoll]

still giving error

someone can help me please

i need

@turbid surge you are here?

 public function totalElapsedTime($layers_to_prep, $elapsed_minutes)
    {
             
         expectedCookTime()->$elapsed_minutes;
         return $elapsed_minutes;

    }

[earnest stag]

I don't understand PHP, so I can't help you, but what are you trying to make the computer calculate in this function?

[turbid surge]

You might want to read up on the basics of functions. Or the basics of programming.

[near knoll]

I know, but haven't you been helping until now with your good will?
So I really want to learn and not the "ready" answer

[turbid surge]

I've helped as much as I can. You seem to be missing some fundamental basics. You need to learn those first and I can't teach you all the basics.

[near knoll]

I can already do some basic crud alone, but here in this exercise statement I'm stuck and alone I can't go anywhere in this code

[turbid surge]

You're unable to do this exercise because you're missing basic concepts.

Do you want to solve the exercises or do you want to learn programming?

[near knoll]

for me this is a a part of the learning process
this is the reason for entry the exercism site for a practice code

[near knoll]

learn programming

[turbid surge]

Then start with the basics.

[near knoll]

Bro what the basic concepts need i study?

now i'm stay in the php doc site

[turbid surge]

Exercism doesn't teach the basics

[near knoll]

then what''s the need I study?

[turbid surge]

An intro programming course

You seem to be having trouble with the concept of functions and parameters and parameterized return values.
