Chapter 8, Problem 1MC
Program Description Answer

In an array, size declarator is used to specify the number of elements in an array.

Hence, the correct answer is option “B”.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Array size declarator:

  • The number that is given inside the square brackets at the time of array declaration is called as array size declarator.
  • The value should not be in negative.
  • In order to avoid changing of size inside the source code, the programmers desires to use named constants as array size declarator.

Example for array size declarator:

int arrayName[10];

In the above example:

int – It is the data type

arrayName – Name of the array

10 – Size of the array

Explanation for incorrect options:

Subscript:

Each and every element in an array is assigned to a special value called as subscripts or indexes.

Hence, the option “A” is wrong.

Array Name:

Array name is not used to specify the number of elements in an array rather it mentions the name of the array.

Hence, the option “C” is wrong.

Initialization value:

It is nothing but the data that are given inside the array.

Hence, the option “D” is wrong.

Array Manipulation In this question you develop a code capable of doing array manipulation. Your program will have the following menu. This code should be completely modular so that for each of the menu options (except for probably a couple of them) a function should be called. 1- Enter the size of the array 2- Enter the array elements 3- Sort the array 4- Find a number within the array 5- Print the array 6- Reverse print the array 7- Quit A sample run of the program is as follows: 1- Enter the size of the array 2- Enter the array elements 3- Sort the array 4- Find a number within the array 5- Print the array 6- Reverse print the array 7- Quit Please enter your choice: 0 That’s not a valid choice Please enter your choice: 2 You should first set the size of the array 1- Enter the size of the array 2- Enter the array elements 3- Sort the array 4- Find a number within the array 5- Print the array 6- Reverse print the array 7- Quit Please enter your choice: 3 Your array is not…
