public static int countNegatives(ArrayList arr)

{

int count = 0;

for (int j = 0; j < arr.size(); j++) // Line 4

{

if (arr.get(j) < 0)

}

Which of the following best explains the impact to the countNegatives method when, in line 4, j < arr.size() is replaced with j <= arr.size() - 1 ?

A. It has no impact on the behavior of the method.

B. It causes the method to ignore the last element in arr.

C. It causes the method to throw an IndexOutOfBounds exception.

D. It reduces the size of arr by 1 and the last element will be removed.

E. It changes the number of times the loop executes, but all indexes in arr will still be accessed.

A

It has no impact on the behavior of the method.

Consider the following method findValue, which takes an ArrayList of String elements and a String value as parameters and returns true if the String value is found in the list and false otherwise.

public static boolean findValue(ArrayList arr, String key)

{

for (int j = 0; j < arr.size(); j++) // Line 3

{

if (arr.get(j).equals(key))

{

return true;

}

}

return false;

}

Which of the following best explains the impact to the findValue method when, in line 3, int j = 0 is replaced by int j = 1 ?

Responses

It has no impact on the behavior of the method.

It will cause the method to return a different result when the key value is not in the list.

It will cause the method to return a different result when the key value is found only at the first index in the list.

It will cause the method to return a different result when the key value is found only at the last index in the list.

It will cause the method to throw an array index out of bounds exception.

C

It will cause the method to return a different result when the key value is found only at the first index in the list.

Consider the following method, inCommon, which takes two Integer ArrayList parameters. The method returns true if the same integer value appears in both lists at least one time, and false otherwise.

{

for (int i = 0; i < a.size(); i++)

{

for (int j = 0; j < b.size(); j++) // Line 5

{

if (a.get(i).equals(b.get(j)))

{

return true;

}

}

}

return false;

}

Which of the following best explains the impact to the inCommon method when line 5 is replaced by for (int j = b.size() - 1; j > 0; j--) ?

The change has no impact on the behavior of the method.

After the change, the method will never check the first element in list b.

After the change, the method will never check the last element in list b.

After the change, the method will never check the first and the last elements in list b.

The change will cause the method to throw an IndexOutOfBounds exception.

B

After the change, the method will never check the first element in list b.
