What does the following statement do? double[] array1 = new double[10];

The following statement creates an ArrayList object. What is the purpose of the <String> notation? ArrayList<String> arr = new ArrayList<String>();

a. It specifies that only String objects may be stored in the ArrayList object.

What would be the results of the following code? int[] x = { 55, 33, 88, 22, 99, 11, 44, 66, 77 }; int a = 10; if(x[2] > x[5]) a = 5; else a = 8;

In memory, an array of String objects

a. consists of elements, each of which is a reference to a String object.

A search algorithm:

a. is a way to locate a specific item in a larger collection of data

You use this method to determine the number of items stored in an ArrayList object.

b. An array of float values

Given the following two-dimensional array declaration, which statement is true? int [][] numbers = new int [6] [9];

b. The array numbers has 6 rows and 9 columns

This ArrayList class method is used to insert an item into an ArrayList.

b. add

Java performs ____________, which means that it does not allow a statement to use a subscript that is outside the range of valid subscripts for the array.

b. array bounds checking

In Java, you do not use the new operator when you use a(n):

b. initialization list

To return an array of long values from a method, use this as the return type for the method.

b. long[]

Which of the following is a correct method header for receiving a two-dimensional array as an argument?

b. public static void passArray(int [][])

In order to do a binary search on an array,

b. the array must first be sorted in ascending order

This indicates the number of elements, or values, the array can hold

b. the array's size declarator

What would be the results of the following code? int[] array1 = new int[25]; ... // Code that will put values in array1 int value = array1[0]; for (int a = 1; a < array1.length; a++) { if (array1[a] < value) value = array1[a]; }

b. value contains the lowest value in array1

The binary search algorithm:

b. will cut the portion of the array being searched in half each time the loop fails to locate the search value

What would be the results after the following code was executed? int[] x = {23, 55, 83, 19}; int[] y = {36, 78, 12, 24}; for(int a = 0; a < x.length; a++) { x[a] = y[a]; y[a] = x[a]; }

b. x[] = {36, 78, 12, 24} and y[] = {36, 78, 12, 24}

What would be the results after the following code was executed? int[] x = {23, 55, 83, 19}; int[] y = {36, 78, 12, 24}; x = y; y = x;

b. x[] = {36, 78, 12, 24} and y[] = {36, 78, 12, 24}

If final int SIZE = 15 and int[] x = new int[SIZE], what would be the range of subscript values that could be used with x[]?

c. 0 through 14

What will be the value of x[1] after the following code is executed? int[] x = {22, 33, 44}; arrayProcess(x); ... public static void arrayProcess(int[] a) { for(int k = 0; k < 3; k++) { a[k] = a[k] + 5; } }

c. 38

What will be the value of x[8] after the following code has been executed? final int SUB = 12; int[] x = new int[SUB]; int y = 20; for(int i = 0; i < SUB; i++) { x[i] = y; y += 5; }

What do you normally use with a partially-filled array?

c. An accompanying integer value that holds the number of items stored in the array

Which of the following is a valid declaration for a ragged array?

Each array in Java has a public field named ____________ that contains the number of elements in the array.

c. length

When an individual element of an array is passed to a method:

c. the method does not have direct access to the original array

The sequential search algorithm:

c. uses a loop to sequentially step through an array, starting with the first element

What would be the results of the following code? final int SIZE = 25; int[] array1 = new int[SIZE]; ... // Code that will put values in array1 int value = 0; for (int a = 0; a < array1.length; a++) { value += array1[a]; }

c. value contains the sum of all the values in array1

What would be the results of the following code? final int SIZE = 25; int[] array1 = new int[SIZE]; ... // Code that will put values in array1 int value = 0; for (int a = 0; a <= array1.length; a++) { value += array1[a]; }
