Consider the following method, which is intended to return a list containing the elements of the parameter myList with all even elements removed. public static ArrayList<Integer> removeEvens(ArrayList<Integer> myList) { for (int i = 0; i < myList.size(); i++) { if (myList.get(i) % 2 == 0) { myList.remove(i); } } return myList; } Which of the following best explains why the code segment does not work as intended?
The code segment returns a list with fewer elements than intended because it fails to consider the last element of myList.
The following method is intended to remove all elements of an ArrayList of integers that are divisible by key and add the removed elements to a new ArrayList, which the method returns. public static ArrayList<Integer> match(ArrayList<Integer> numList, int key) { ArrayList<Integer> returnList = new ArrayList<Integer>(); int i = 0; while (i < numList.size()) { int num = numList.get(i); if (num % key == 0) { numList.remove(i); returnList.add(num); } i++; } return returnList; } As an example, if the method is called with an ArrayList containing the values [5, 2, 10, 20, 16] and the parameter key has the value 5, then numList should contain [2, 16] at the end of the method and an ArrayList containing [5, 10, 20] should be returned. Which of the following best explains why the method does not always work as intended?
The method skips some elements of numList during the traversal.
