PHP 8.3.4 Released!

bccomp

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

bccompVergleich zweier Zahlen beliebiger Genauigkeit

Beschreibung

bccomp(string $num1, string $num2, ?int $scale = null): int

Vergleicht den num1 mit dem num2 und gibt das Ergebnis als Integer-Wert zurück.

Parameter-Liste

num1

Der linke Operand in Stringform.

num2

Der rechte Operand in Stringform.

scale

Der optionale scale-Parameter wird verwendet, um die Anzahl der Dezimalstellen nach dem Komma anzugeben, die für den Vergleich herangezogen werden sollen.

Rückgabewerte

Gibt 0 zurück, wenn beide Operatoren gleich sind, 1, wenn num1 größer ist als num2, und andernfalls -1.

Changelog

Version Beschreibung
8.0.0 scale ist jetzt nullbar.

Beispiele

Beispiel #1 bccomp()-Beispiel

<?php

echo bccomp('1', '2') . "\n"; // -1
echo bccomp('1.00001', '1', 3); // 0
echo bccomp('1.00001', '1', 5); // 1

Beware that negative zero does not compare equal to positive zero.

BEWARE! left and right operand is string!! so number in E-notation like 9.012E-6 need to be converted with sprintf('%F') to string

Improvement of functions bcmax() and bcmin() originaly written by frank at booksku dot com

<?php

function bcmax() {
$args = func_get_args();
if (
count($args)==0) return false;
$max = $args[0];
foreach(
$args as $value) {
if (
bccomp($value, $max)==1) {
$max = $value;
}
}
return
$max;
}

function
bcmin() {
$args = func_get_args();
if (
count($args)==0) return false;
$min = $args[0];
foreach(
$args as $value) {
if (
bccomp($min, $value)==1) {
$min = $value;
}
}
return
$min;
}

I made this to compare an unlimited size of numbers..

This could be useful for those without the BCMath extension.

It allows decimals, and option $Scale parameter. If $Scale isn't specified, then it'll automatically adjust to the correct number of decimals to compare.

<?php

function Comp($Num1,$Num2,$Scale=null) {
// check if they're valid positive numbers, extract the whole numbers and decimals
if(!preg_match("/^\+?(\d+)(\.\d+)?$/",$Num1,$Tmp1)||
!
preg_match("/^\+?(\d+)(\.\d+)?$/",$Num2,$Tmp2)) return('0');

// remove leading zeroes from whole numbers
$Num1=ltrim($Tmp1[1],'0');
$Num2=ltrim($Tmp2[1],'0');

// first, we can just check the lengths of the numbers, this can help save processing time
// if $Num1 is longer than $Num2, return 1.. vice versa with the next step.
if(strlen($Num1)>strlen($Num2)) return(1);
else {
if(
strlen($Num1)<strlen($Num2)) return(-1);

// if the two numbers are of equal length, we check digit-by-digit
else {

// remove ending zeroes from decimals and remove point
$Dec1=isset($Tmp1[2])?rtrim(substr($Tmp1[2],1),'0'):'';
$Dec2=isset($Tmp2[2])?rtrim(substr($Tmp2[2],1),'0'):'';

// if the user defined $Scale, then make sure we use that only
if($Scale!=null) {
$Dec1=substr($Dec1,0,$Scale);
$Dec2=substr($Dec2,0,$Scale);
}

// calculate the longest length of decimals
$DLen=max(strlen($Dec1),strlen($Dec2));

// append the padded decimals onto the end of the whole numbers
$Num1.=str_pad($Dec1,$DLen,'0');
$Num2.=str_pad($Dec2,$DLen,'0');

// check digit-by-digit, if they have a difference, return 1 or -1 (greater/lower than)
for($i=0;$i<strlen($Num1);$i++) {
if((int)
$Num1{$i}>(int)$Num2{$i}) return(1);
else
if((int)
$Num1{$i}<(int)$Num2{$i}) return(-1);
}

// if the two numbers have no difference (they're the same).. return 0
return(0);
}
}
}

$A="10.50002";
$B="10.50001";

printf(" Comp(%s,%s); // %s\r\n",$A,$B, Comp($A,$B));
printf("BCComp(%s,%s); // %s\r\n",$A,$B,BCComp($A,$B));

/*
Comp(10.50002,10.50001); // 1
BCComp(10.50002,10.50001); // 0 (BCComp has a default decimal scale of 0, unless specified)
*/

?>

I tried to make this behave like BCComp..

The only difference being mine will compare the decimals by default.. BCComp won't..
.. unless, of course, you specify the amount of decimals to include in the process.
Enjoy,
Nitrogen.

Note that the above function defeats the purpose of BCMath functions, for it uses the 'conventional' < operator.
Instead, it should be:
<?php
function my_bccomp_zero($amount, $scale)
{
if (@
$amount{0}=="-")
{
return
bccomp($amount, '-0.0', $scale);
}
else
{
return
bccomp($amount, '0.0', $scale);
}
}
?>

I slapped together min() and max() functions using bccomp(). While min() and max() only take an arbitrary number of args (i.e. max(1, 5, 1235, 12934, 66)) bccomp only takes 2.

Note that this doesn't take into account $scale.

<?php

function bcmax() {
$max = null;
foreach(
func_get_args() as $value) {
if (
$max == null) {
$max = $value;
} else if (
bccomp($max, $value) < 0) {
$max = $value;
}
}
return
$max;
}

function
bcmin() {
$min = null;
foreach(
func_get_args() as $value) {
if (
$min == null) {
$min = $value;
} else if (
bccomp($min, $value) > 0) {
$min = $value;
}
}
return
$min;
}
?>

You can wrap this function with version_compare() to have support for operators and friendlier (boolean) return values.

<?php

function _bccomp($a, $b, $operator = '=')
{
return
version_compare(bccomp($a, $b), 0, $operator);
}

var_dump(_bccomp(5, 3, '>=')); // true

?>

Still works with arbitrary length numbers.

bccomp - doesn't compare by default more then 16 characters

$number = '-4.444444444444444444444444444444444444444444445';
$precision = 16;
var_dump(bccomp(bcadd($number, '0', $precision), bcadd($number, '0', $precision+1)));

//outputs 0 on PHP 5.3

use strcomp

In PHP 7, bccomp($a, $b) is the same as $a <=> $b.
