PHP 8.3.4 Released!

The Sequence interface

(PECL ds >= 1.0.0)

Introduction

A Sequence describes the behaviour of values arranged in a single, linear dimension. Some languages refer to this as a "List". It’s similar to an array that uses incremental integer keys, with the exception of a few characteristics:

  • Values will always be indexed as [0, 1, 2, …, size - 1].
  • Only allowed to access values by index in the range [0, size - 1].

Use cases:
