5. Does a programmer always know how long an array will be when the program is being written?

a.    Yes---the program will not compile without the length being declared.
b.    No---the array object is created when the program is running, and the length might change from run to run.
c.    Yes---otherwise the program will not run correctly.
d.    No---arrays can grow to whatever length is needed.

Correct Answer Is:

6. Fill in the blanks of the following code fragment so that the elements of the array are printed in reverse order, starting with the last element. 

    int[] egArray = { 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 };
