Hi, yes, this is good refactoring, but better refactoring would be: - avoid generic names like $a, $b - avoid using the constant 8, instead counting the elements in the array
Using a loop, like you did, is what I had in mind when I proposed this challenge. Technically, after refactoring, the code had to produce the same output, as I suspect your example does.
In this discussion, however, code improvement was gained not just by refactoring, but by examining the reasons behing the code and simplifying it.

Thanks for the input. and yes, i did appreciate the logical trimming of the code, in the discussion. -- Prakul Agarwal, Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad
