Consider the following code segment. ArrayList<String> arrList = new ArrayList<String>(); arrList.add("A"); arrList.add("B"); arrList.add("C"); arrList.add("D"); for (int i = 0; i < arrList.size(); i++) { System.out.print(arrList.remove(i)); } What, if anything, is printed as a result of executing the code segment?
A. AC
Consider the method sequentialSearch, which takes an ArrayList of Integer elements and an int value as parameters and returns the index of the first appearance of the target value in the list or -1 if the target value does not appear in the list. public static int sequentialSearch(ArrayList<Integer> elements, int target) { for (int j = 0; j < elements.size(); j++) // Line 3 { if (elements.get(j) == target) { return j; } } return -1; } Which of the following explains how replacing Line 3 with for (int j = (elements.size() - 1); j >= 0; j--) will affect the behavior of sequentialSearch?
B. The modified method will return the index of the last appearance of the target value in the list, or -1 if the target value does not appear in the list.
Consider the following statement, which is intended to create an ArrayList named arrList to store elements only of type String. /* missing code */ = new ArrayList<String>(); Which of the following can be used to replace /* missing code */ so that the statement works as intended?
E. ArrayList<String> arrList
Consider the method seqSearch, which implements a sequential search algorithm. public int seqSearch(int[] arr, int target) { for (int j = 0; j < arr.length; j++) { if (arr[j] == target) { return j; } } return -1; } Consider another method, seqSearch2, which modifies seqSearch to use an enhanced for loop. public int seqSearch2(int[] arr, int target) { for (int j : arr) { if (j == target) { return j; } } return -1; } Which of the following best describes the difference in the behavior of seqSearch2 relative to seqSearch as a result of the modification?
E. The modification in seqSearch2 will cause the value of target to be returned instead of the index of target in cases where target appears in arr.
Consider the following code segment. ArrayList<Integer> vals = new ArrayList<Integer>(); vals.add(vals.size(), vals.size()); vals.add(vals.size() - 1, vals.size() + 1); vals.add(vals.size() - 2, vals.size() + 2); System.out.println(vals.toString()); What is printed as a result of executing the code segment?
E. [4, 2, 0]
In the code segment below, numList is an ArrayList of integers that is sorted in descending order. The code segment is intended to insert the integer value val into numList so that numList is still sorted in descending order. int j = 0; while (val != numList.get(j)) { j++; } numList.add(j, val); The code segment does not always work as intended. Assuming that numList has been initialized to {3, 2, 1, 0}, for which value of val does the code segment NOT produce the expected result?A
A. 4
Consider the following code segment. ArrayList<String> syllables = new ArrayList<String>(); syllables.add("LA"); syllables.add(0, "DI"); syllables.set(1, "TU"); syllables.add("DA"); syllables.add(2, syllables.get(0)); syllables.remove(1); System.out.println(syllables.toString()); What is printed as a result of executing the code segment?
B. [DI, DI, DA]
Consider the following code segment. ArrayList<String> words = new ArrayList<String>(); words.add("mat"); words.add("new"); words.add("open"); words.add("pet"); int i = 0; while (i < words.size()) { words.remove(i); i++; } System.out.println(words.toString()); What is printed when the code segment is executed?
B. [new, pet]
Consider the following statement, which is intended to create an ArrayList named a to store only elements of type Thing. Assume that the Thing class has been properly defined and includes a no-parameter constructor. ArrayList<Thing> a = /* missing code */; Which of the following can be used to replace /* missing code */ so that the statement works as intended?
B. new ArrayList<Thing>()
Consider the following correct implementation of the selection sort algorithm. public static void selectionSort(int[] elements) { for (int j = 0; j < elements.length - 1; j++) { int minIndex = j; for (int k = j + 1; k < elements.length; k++) { if (elements[k] < elements[minIndex]) { minIndex = k; } } if (j != minIndex) { int temp = elements[j]; elements[j] = elements[minIndex]; elements[minIndex] = temp; // line 19 } } } The following declaration and method call appear in a method in the same class as selectionSort. int[] arr = {30, 40, 10, 50, 20}; selectionSort(arr); How many times is the statement elements[minIndex] = temp; in line 19 of the method executed as a result of the call to selectionSort ?
C. 3
Consider the following correct implementation of the insertion sort algorithm. public static void insertionSort(int[] elements) { for (int j = 1; j < elements.length; j++) { int temp = elements[j]; int possibleIndex = j; while (possibleIndex > 0 && temp < elements[possibleIndex - 1]) { elements[possibleIndex] = elements[possibleIndex - 1]; possibleIndex--; } elements[possibleIndex] = temp; // line 12 } } The following declaration and method call appear in a method in the same class as insertionSort. int[] nums = {8, 7, 5, 4, 2, 1}; insertionSort(nums); How many times is the statement elements[possibleIndex] = temp; in line 12 of the method executed as a result of the call to insertionSort ?

C. I and III only
Consider the following search method. public static int search(int[] arr, int target) { int result = -1; for (int j = 0; j < arr.length; j++) { if (arr[j] == target) { result = j; // Line 8 } } return result; } Which of the following describes the effect of replacing the statement in line 8 of the method with result = arr[j]; ?
C. The modified method will return target if target appears in arr and will return -1 otherwise.
Consider the following method definition. The method isReversed is intended to return true if firstList and secondList contain the same elements but in reverse order, and to return false otherwise. /** Precondition: firstList.size() == secondList.size() */ public static boolean isReversed(ArrayList<Integer> firstList, ArrayList<Integer> secondList) { for (int j = 0; j < firstList.size() / 2; j++) { if (firstList.get(j) != secondList.get(secondList.size() - 1 - j)) { return false; } } return true; } The method does not always work as intended.
