Days of the Week – Basic Arrays
1. Look at the following program.

public class PrintDaysOfWeek

{
public static void main (String args[])
{
String DaysOfWeek[] = {"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday",
"Saturday"};

System.out.println ("Printing one element at a time:");

System.out.println (DaysOfWeek [0]);
System.out.println (DaysOfWeek [1]);
System.out.println (DaysOfWeek [2]);
System.out.println (DaysOfWeek [3]);
System.out.println (DaysOfWeek [4]);
System.out.println (DaysOfWeek [5]);
System.out.println (DaysOfWeek [6]);

System.out.println ("\n\nPrinting all elements:");

for (int i = 0 ; i < DaysOfWeek.length ; i++)
{
System.out.println (DaysOfWeek [i]);
}
System.out.println ("\nArray Length: " + DaysOfWeek.length);
}
}

Answer these questions about the code:

a. What is the array type?

b. What is the array name?

c. What is the array length?

d. What is DaysOfWeek.length?

e. What is in DaysOfWeek [4]?

f. Why does DaysOfWeek[9] cause an

error?

g. Circle the two different ways to print the elements of an array.

Label one with "first way" and the second with "second way".
Which way is easier if the array contains hundreds or more elements? (The first or the second)
Why is it easier?
2. Consider this array.
String DaysOfWeek[] = {"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday",
"Saturday"};

(a) Change each Boolean expression so that it is true.

i. DaysOfWeek[1].equals(“Sunday”)
ii. DaysOfWeek[7].equals(“Saturday”)
iii. DaysOfWeek.length==6
iv. DaysOfWeek[0]== “Sunday”
v. WeekDays[3].equals(“Tuesday”)

(b) Correct each declaration and construction so that the code runs.

i. String DaysOfWeek = {"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday",

"Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"};
ii. String DaysOfWeek[] = {"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday",
"Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"}
iii. String DaysOfWeek[] = {‘Sunday’, ‘Monday’, ‘Tuesday’, ‘Wednesday’,
‘Thursday’, ‘Friday’, ‘Saturday’};
iv. String DaysOfWeek[] = ("Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday",
"Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday");
v. String DaysOfWeek{} = {"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday",
"Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"};

3. Trace what is happening in the following array, using the tables provided.

int s = 2;
int a [] = {-1, -3, 5, 31, 0, 7};
[0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

a [4] =2;
[0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

a [5] = 88;
[0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

a [s] --;
[0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

a [0] = a [3];
[0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

a[3] = s + 2;
[0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

a[1] ++;
[0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
