No effect at all. Other than for illustrating how Java works, this is not a very useful program.
// Array Example
//
class ChangeArray
{
public void print ( int[] x )
{
for ( int j=0; j < x.length; j++ )
System.out.print( x[j] + " " );
System.out.println( );
}
public void zeroElt ( int[] x, int elt ) // 6.
{
if ( elt < x.length ) // 7.
x[ elt ] = 0; // 8.
}
}
public class ChangeTest
{
public static void main ( String[] args ) // 1.
{
ChangeArray cng = new ChangeArray(); // 2.
int[] value = {27, 19, 34, 5, 12} ; // 3.
System.out.println( "Before:" ); // 4.
cng.print( value );
cng.zeroElt( value, 0 ); // 5.
System.out.println( "After:" ); // 9.
cng.print( value );
}
}
Here is another example program, this time using an array parameter. The program prints:
Before: 27 19 34 5 12 After: 0 19 34 5 12
The details of the program will be explained
in a few pages.
For now, just look at the broad outline
of the program.
What are the methods of a ChangeArray
object?
What do they do?
Did the zeroElt() method change one of the array's elements?
