Cut the sticks

    You can make the script easier if you use a native sort method. That way you just shift the array each time.

    function cutTheSticks($arr) {
    sort($arr);
    $countedValues = array_count_values($arr);
    while($countedValues) {
        $results[] = array_sum($countedValues);
        array_shift($countedValues);
    }
    return $results;
}
