Questions and Answers

What does the error 'ArrayIndexOutOfBounds' indicate?

  • The array index being referred to is outside the bounds of the array. (correct)
  • The array is sorted in descending order.
  • The array is empty and no elements can be accessed.
  • The array index is negative.
  • What is the main difference between an array and an ArrayList?

  • Arrays can store primitive data types, while ArrayLists can only store objects.
  • Arrays are more efficient in terms of memory usage compared to ArrayLists.
  • ArrayLists can change in size dynamically, while arrays have a fixed size once declared. (correct)
  • ArrayLists can only store one type of data, while arrays can store multiple types.
  • What is the purpose of the 'binarySearch' method?

  • To sort the elements in an array in ascending order.
  • To search for a specific element in a sorted array efficiently. (correct)
  • To reverse the order of elements in an array.
  • To randomly shuffle the elements in an array.
  • Why is a linear search more useful than a binary search to determine the number of occurrences of a number in an array?
