PHP - How to find the least common element in an array

Navigation
2

The work consists in creating 2 arrays with random numbers between 0 and 30. These 2 arrays should be drawn from the most common element to the least common one.

Then I have to show the most common, less common element to the screen, and which numbers from 0 to 30 are missing in both arrays.

At this moment I can show the most common element to the screen, my question is how to find out the least common.

I've done research on the various functions of sort (arsort, asort, krsort, etc) but still I could not proceed.

The code I have is the following: 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8">

        <title>
            Totally not a legit website
        </title>

    </head>

    <body>

        <?php
            function veto($min, $max) {

                for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++){
                    $array1[$i] = rand($min, $max);
                    $array2[$i] = rand($min, $max);
                }

                // print_r($array1);
                // print_r($array2);      

            $count_1 = array_count_values($array1);
            $count_2 = array_count_values($array2);

            arsort($count_1); // sortear 
            arsort($count_2); // descendente

            $first_array1 = key($count_1); //mais repetido do array1
            $first_array2 = key($count_2); //mais repetido do array2

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            $count_first_1 = current($count_1);
            $count_second_1 = next($count_1);   

            if($count_first_1 != $count_second_1) { // para saber se existem repetidos no 1º lugar
                echo $first_array1 . ' mais comum no primeiro array';
                echo "</br>";
            } else {
                echo $first_array1 . ' - input repetido no mais comum';
                echo "</br>"; 
            }          
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            $count_first_2 = current($count_2);
            $count_second_2 = next($count_2);   

            if($count_first_2 != $count_second_2) { // para saber se existem repetidos no 1º lugar
                echo $first_array2 . ' mais comum no segundo array';
                echo "</br>";
            } else {
                echo $first_array2 . ' - input repetido no mais comum';
                echo "</br>";
            }


            print_r ($array1);     
            echo "</br>";
            print_r ($array2);      
            echo "</br>";

            // print_r(end($count_1));
            // echo "</br>";
            // echo print_r(end($count_2));   
            // echo "</br>";


        }

            $min = 0;
            $max = 30;  

            veto($min, $max);
        ?>

    </body>
</html>

Thank you in advance.

I decided to break the logic into three parts (functions) the first is how to assemble the array of selected numbers, the second the largest and smallest display and the last to check which numbers were not selected but which are in the range informed. p> 

function gerarNumeros($min, $max) {
    $arr = array();

    for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++){
        $arr[] = rand($min, $max);
    }

    return array_count_values($arr);
}

The idea of this function is to return a vector where the index is the number generated by rand() and the value is how many times it has appeared that does this is the function array_count_values()

Output is something like: 

Array
(
    [13] => 1
    [11] => 3
    [7] => 1
    [4] => 1
    [8] => 1
    [15] => 1
    [6] => 1
    [10] => 1
)

function obterMaiorEMenor($arr){
    $maior = sprintf('O número: %s apareceu %s vezes', array_search(max($arr), $arr, true), max($arr));
    $menor = sprintf('O número: %s apareceu %s vez', array_search(min($arr), $arr, true), min($arr));
    return array('maior' => $maior, 'menor' => $menor);
}

The above function receives the generated array and uses the functions max() and min() to get the largest and smallest value present in the array. Detail In case of equal amounts the greater or lesser the first element will be considered. 

function numerosDeFora($min, $max, $arr){
    return array_diff(range($min, $max), $arr);
}

Finally this function calculates the difference between all available numbers ( range($min, max ) and selected numbers ( $arr ) and returns a new array.

Code execution: 

$a = gerarNumeros(1, 15);
$extremos = obterMaiorEMenor($a);

$numeros = array_keys($a); //Lembre que os números são os índices e as quantidades os valores
sort($numeros); //classifica do menor para o maior


echo $extremos['maior'] .'<br>'. $extremos['menor'];

echo '<br>Números selecionados: '. implode(', ', array_unique($numeros));
echo '<br>Números de fora: '. implode(', ', numerosDeFora(1, 15, $numeros));

Output: 

O número: 11 apareceu 3 vezes
O número: 13 apareceu 1 vez
Números selecionados: 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15
Números de fora: 1, 2, 3, 5, 9, 12, 14
