Convert JAVA program to PHP code

Question

I have below program in JAVA.

private static int frogJump(int[] arrEl,int postion) {
        /** Marker array for the leaf found on the way. */
        boolean[] leafArray = new boolean[postion+1];

        /** Total step needed for frog. */
        int steps = postion;

        for(int i = 0; i<arrEl.length; i++) {

            /** if leaf needed for frog and it does not exist earlier. **/
            if(postion>=arrEl[i] && !leafArray[arrEl[i]]) {

                /* Mark leaf found */
                leafArray[arrEl[i]] = true;

                /** Reduce the step by one(coz one jump found). */
                steps--;
            }

            if(steps == 0 && arrEl[i]==postion) {
                return i;
            }
        }

        return -1;
    }

Which i want to convert in PHP. Till now what i have done is

function solution ($A = [], $Position) {

    $StonesArray = array();

    $StonesArray[TRUE] = $Position + 1;

    $steps = $Position;

    for($i = 0; $i< count($A); $i++) {

        echo "<pre>";
        print_r($StonesArray);

        if($Position >= $A[$i] && !$StonesArray[$A[$i]]) {


            $StonesArray[$A[$i]] = true;


            $steps--;
        }

        if($steps == 0 && $A[$i] == $Position) {
            return $i;
        }
    }

    return -1;
}

$GetSolution  = solution([3,2,1], 1);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($GetSolution);

above program should return 3. but after i have converted the program to PHP language its not returning the expected value.

I am sure I have done everything correct except converting the below line

boolean[] leafArray = new boolean[postion+1];

How to write this line in PHP?

This is not C. I can't tell for sure what it is (C#? C++?) Please determine yourself and correct the tag. — user2371524

Looking into the source code says it highlights for java (It has the class syntaxhighlighter java) — Tobias F.

I think that's C#, anyway I don't think you can create an array with predefined size in PHP. And usually you don't need to. Just use $leafArray = array(); — xander

I just translated your original Java code to PHP 1:1, most of it can be used as is with little change, look at this example:

function frogJump(array $arrEl, $postion) {
    /** Marker array for the leaf found on the way. */
    $leafArray = array_fill(0, $postion+1, false);

    /** Total step needed for frog. */
    $steps = $postion;

    for($i = 0; $i<count($arrEl); $i++) {

        /** if leaf needed for frog and it does not exist earlier. **/
        if($postion>=$arrEl[$i] && !$leafArray[$arrEl[$i]]) {

            /* Mark leaf found */
            $leafArray[$arrEl[$i]] = true;

            /** Reduce the step by one(coz one jump found). */
            $steps--;
        }

        if($steps == 0 && $arrEl[$i]==$postion) {
            return $i;
        }
    }

    return -1;
}

print_r(frogJump([3,2,1], 1)); outputs 2.

I also compiled the Java code and the output is also 2, so it seems correct to me? Run with System.out.println(frogJump(new int[]{3,2,1}, 1));
