Chapter 5: Arrays

TRUE/FALSE

1. If you store important papers in a series of file folders and label each folder with a consecutive letter of
the alphabet, then you are using the equivalent of an array.

ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 159

2. An error commonly made by beginning programmers is to forget that array subscripts start with the
integer 1.

ANS: F PTS: 1 REF: 160

3. Depending on the syntax rules of the programming language you use, you place the subscript within
parentheses or square brackets following the group name.

ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 160

4. Each variable within an array has the same name and the same data type.

ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 160

 5. Many programming languages allow you to initialize an array with fewer values than there are array
elements declared.

ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 161

6. Sometimes the values stored in arrays should be constants.

ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 171

7. A flag is a variable you set to indicate whether some event occurred.

8. Parallel arrays are two arrays such that each element in one array is associated with the element in the
same relative position in the other array.

ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 175

9. As with a while loop, when you use a for loop, you must be careful to stay within array bounds,
remembering that the highest usable array subscript is one less than the size of the array.

ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 186

10. Leaving a loop as soon as a match is found improves the program’s efficiency.

ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 179
