Questions and Answers

If a program reads ten numbers from the user and stores them in an array, how could you most efficiently display these numbers in reverse order?

  • By swapping elements from the start and end of the array iteratively until the middle is reached.
  • By creating a new array with the elements in reverse order and then printing it.
  • By using the `Collections.reverse()` method on the array.
  • By iterating through the array from the last index to the first, printing each element. (correct)

Which of the following approaches would be the most efficient for identifying and storing all even numbers from a set of 20 user-provided integer inputs in Java?

  • Storing all numbers in a list and using Java streams API with a filter for even numbers.
  • Using nested loops to compare each number with every other number to identify even numbers.
  • Using a single loop that iterates through all 20 numbers, checking each for evenness and storing it in a new array if it is even. (correct)
  • Using two separate loops: the first to segregate all even numbers from the odds, and the second to store these even numbers into a new array.

Given an unsorted array of integers, what is the most efficient approach to determine if a specific number exists within the array?

  • Sort the array and then perform a binary search.
  • Iterate through the array, comparing each element to the target number.
  • Convert the array to a Set and check for the number's existence. (correct)
  • Use recursion to divide the array and search for the number.
