A good answer might be:

The complete program is given below.


Complete Zero

Remember to use the length of the array in testing for the end. It would be a mistake to write in a literal value like 5 because you want the method to work for all int arrays.

// Array Example
//
class ChangeArray
{
  void print ( int[] x )
  {
    for ( int j=0; j < x.length; j++ )
      System.out.print( x[j] + " " );
    System.out.println( );
  }

  void zeroElt ( int[] x, int elt )
  {
    if ( elt < x.length )
      x[ elt ] = 0; 
  }

  
  // Make all the elements zero.
  void zeroAll ( int[] ar )
  {
    for ( int j=0; j < ar.length; j++ )
      ar[j] = 0;
  }

}

class ChangeTest
{
  public static void main ( String[] args )
  {
    ChangeArray cng = new ChangeArray();
    int[] value = {27, 19, 34, 5, 12} ;
    System.out.println( "Before:" );
    cng.print( value );
    
    cng.zeroAll( value  );
    System.out.println( "After:" );
    cng.print( value );
  }
}

Of course you could call your loop control variable something other than "j".

QUESTION 11:

Will the j in zeroAll() and the j in print() interfere with each other?
