Hence, the correct answer is option “B”.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

Size declarator:

In an array the “size declarator” must be a non-negative integer expression. It may be a variable or a literal value. It is a common practice to use a final variable as a size declarator.

Example:

final int NUM_ELEMENTS = 6;

int[] numbers = new int[NUM_ELEMENTS];

Explanation for wrong answers:

a.Subscript:

A “subscript” is used as an index to pinpoint a specific element within an array.

Hence, the option “A” is wrong.

c.element sum:

The “element sum” is used to add the numbers of element in an array.

Hence, the option “C” is wrong.

d.Reference variable:

The user declare a “reference variable” and use the new keyword to create an instance of the array in memory. The reference variable can be declared as follows:

numbers = new int[6];

Hence, the option “D” is wrong.

Determine whether the following array declarations are valid. If a declaration is valid, write VALID. If it is invalid, you can make assumptions and write a correct declaration. int size; double[] list = new double[size];
Question:   Get a series of numbers from the user. Let the user determine how many numbers to enter. Set an upper and lower limit for the number that will be array size. If the user enters the number as outside that range, ask him to enter the number again, with an error message on the screen until the correct number is entered. Calculate the largest and smallest elements, sum and average of the array created with the numbers entered by the user, using functions. Print the results obtained on the screen. Also get another input from the user. Use a function to calculate how many characters this input has, how many characters are letters, how many characters are numbers and how many characters are other characters. Print the results on the screen.
