I am finding task number two very difficult. My problem is displaying the facts from the array next to the #s

Question

I am asked to loop through the numbers requested and then in task 2 find where the looping numbers match the key of an associative array and print out the value.

I am not sure if it is necessary but I have ksorted the $facts into order:

ksort($facts);

and completed task one with my loop:

for ($i = 1; $i <= 100; $i++) { echo $i . "<br />\n"; }

Then for task two I insert the following statement above the echo $i

if (isset($facts[$i]));

And then I draw a blank... Any help would be appreciated!! The following is the script from the task.

<?php $facts = array( 57 => ' on Heinz ketchup bottles represents the number of varieties of pickles the company once had.', 2 => ' is the approximate hours a day Giraffes sleeps', 18 => ' is the average hours a Python sleeps per day', 10 => ' per cent of the world is left-handed.', 11 => ' Empire State Buildings, stacked one on top of the other, would be required to measure the Gulf of Mexico at its deepest point.', 98 => '% of the atoms in your body are replaced every year', 69 => ' is the largest number of recorded children born to one woman', );

ksort($facts);

for ($i = 1; $i <= 100; $i++) { if (isset($facts[$i]));
echo $i . "<br />\n"; }

index.php

<?php
$facts = array(
    57 => ' on Heinz ketchup bottles represents the number of varieties of pickles the company once had.',
    2 => ' is the approximate hours a day Giraffes sleeps',
    18 => ' is the average hours a Python sleeps per day',
    10 => ' per cent of the world is left-handed.',
    11 => ' Empire State Buildings, stacked one on top of the other, would be required to measure the Gulf of Mexico at its deepest point.',
    98 => '% of the atoms in your body are replaced every year',
    69 => ' is the largest number of recorded children born to one woman',
);
//add your loop below this line

Hi Keith, you got it. Now that you saw if the $facts[$i] is set, you just need to echo it inside the if statement. Put the if statement below the previous echo $i;

For this challenge, you don't need to sort the keys.

for ($i = 1; $i <= 100; $i++) {
    echo $i ; 
    if (isset($facts[$i])) {
        echo $facts[$i];
    }
}
