2,310 PointsI am not completely clear on what I am doing here. Can anyone clarify the instructions?
I've been slightly confused in the least few videos and examples.
<?php
// add code below this comment
class Subdivision
{
public $houses;
public static function filterHouseColor($color){
Subdivision::filterHouseColor($color);
}
}
}
?>

2,310 PointsHi Ben, your answer is correct. I am understanding up to the filteredHouses array. I feel as if I am getting lost in the instructions.
Also, is your entry marked as an answer? I can't seem to mark it as the correct answer.

1,464 PointsHey Keith - Here is a little more context. I added a House
class so you can kind of see what this would look like. Hopefully that helps.
<?php
class House
{
public $roof_color;
public $wall_color;
/**
* House constructor.
* @param $roof_color
* @param $wall_color
*/
public function __construct($roof_color, $wall_color)
{
$this->roof_color = $roof_color;
$this->wall_color = $wall_color;
}
}
class Subdivision
{
private $houses;
/**
* Subdivision constructor.
* @param $houses
*/
public function __construct($houses)
{
$this->houses = $houses;
}
public function filterHouseColor($color)
{
$filteredHouses = [];
foreach ($this->houses as $house) {
if ($house->roof_color == $color || $house->wall_color == $color) {
$filteredHouses[] = $house;
}
}
return $filteredHouses;
}
}
$houseA = new House('green', 'grey');
$houseB = new House('brown', 'yellow');
$subdivision = new Subdivision([$houseA, $houseB]);
$filteredHouses = $subdivision->filterHouseColor('green');
?>
Cheers,
Ben
