Question

.

Analyze the following code:

public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int[] x = new int[5];
int i;
for (i = 0; i < ; i++)
x[i] = i;
System.out.println(x[i]);
}
}
(a) The program displays 0 1 2 3 4
(b) The program displays 4
(c) The program has a runtime error because the last statement in the main method causes ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
(d) The program has syntax error because i is not defined in the last statement in the main method
(e) The program displays 1 2 3 4 5.

Answer 1

The code has a syntax error due to a missing condition in the 'for loop'. If corrected, it would lead to a runtime error because the index would be out of bounds when 'System.out.println' is called.

Step-by-step explanation:

Analyzing the code provided, we can observe that it is a Java program that initializes an array with five elements and attempts to assign values to each element in a for loop. However, there is missing condition in the loop which will lead to a syntax error, preventing the program from compiling. If the missing condition in the loop were corrected to 'i < 5', the program would still result in a runtime error, specifically an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, because after the loop, 'i' would be incremented to 5 and there is no index '5' in the array (since array indices start from 0).
