What is the most efficient way to calculate temperature differences and perform specific operations on PHP arrays containing sensor data?

To calculate temperature differences and perform specific operations on PHP arrays containing sensor data, you can loop through the array and compare each temperature value with the previous one to calculate the difference. You can then perform any specific operations needed based on these differences. 

// Sample sensor data array
$sensorData = [25, 28, 30, 27, 32];

// Calculate temperature differences and perform specific operations
for ($i = 1; $i < count($sensorData); $i++) {
    $temperatureDifference = $sensorData[$i] - $sensorData[$i - 1];
    
    // Perform specific operations based on temperature difference
    if ($temperatureDifference > 2) {
        echo "Temperature increased by more than 2 degrees.\n";
    } elseif ($temperatureDifference < -2) {
        echo "Temperature decreased by more than 2 degrees.\n";
    } else {
        echo "Temperature change within normal range.\n";
    }
}
