Arrays 7
Now go, write it before them in
a table, and note it in a book.
—Isaiah 30:8

With sobs and tears he sorted

out
Those of the largest size …
—Lewis Carroll

Attempt the end, and never

stand to doubt;
Nothing’s so hard, but search
will find it out.
—Robert Herrick

Begin at the beginning, ... and

go on till you come to the end:
then stop.

To go beyond is as wrong as to
fall short

7.4 Write statements to accomplish each of the following tasks:

ANS: Console.WriteLine("Element 6 of numbers is {0}.", numbers(6))
b) Using a For…Next statement, assign the value 8 to each of the five elements of one-di-
mensional Integer array values.
ANS: Dim values As Integer()
values = New Integer(4) {}

For i = 0 To values.GetUpperBound(0)
values(i) = 8
Next
c) Total the 100 elements of floating-point array results.
ANS: Dim total As Double

For i = 0 To results.GetUpperBound(0)
total += results(i)
Next
d) Copy 11-element array source into the first portion of 34-element array sourceCopy.

Dim smallest As Double = data(0)

For i = 0 To data.GetUpperBound(0)
If data(i) > largest Then

7.7 (What Does This Code Do?) This function declares numbers as its parameter. What does it

2 Dim length As Integer = numbers.Length - 1
3 Dim tempArray(length) As Integer
4
5 For i As Integer = length To 0 Step -1

6 Chapter 7 Arrays

ANS: This method takes the contents of parameter numbers and reverses the order of its
contents, returning the reversed array to the caller.
7.8 (What’s Wrong with This Code?) The code that follows uses a For…Next loop to sum the
elements in an array. Find the error(s) in the following code:

1 Sub SumArray()
2 Dim sum As Integer
3 Dim numbers() As Integer = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
4
5 For counter As Integer = 0 To numbers.Length
6 sum += numbers(counter)
7 Next
8 End Sub ' SumArray

ANS: Array numbers does have numbers.Length number of elements, but the indices are
zero through numbers.Length – 1. The For…Next loop increments counter beyond
the highest index in the array, which results in a runtime error. One solution would
be to use numbers.Length - 1 as the loop-termination condition. Or, you can use the
code that follows:

1 Sub SumArray()
2 Dim sum As Integer
3 Dim numbers As Integer() = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
4
5 For counter As Integer = 0 To numbers.GetUpperBound(0)
6 sum += numbers(counter)
7 Next
8 End Sub ' SumArray

7.11 (What Does This Code Do?) What is returned by the following code? Assume that Get-
StockPrices is a Function that returns a 2-by-31 array, with the first row containing the stock price
at the beginning of the day and the last row containing the stock price at the end of the day, for each
day of the month.

1 Function Mystery() As Integer()

2 Dim prices(1, 31) As Integer
3
4 prices = GetStockPrices()
5
6 Dim result(30) As Integer
7
8 For i As Integer = 0 To 30
9 result(i) = prices(1, i) - prices(0, i)
10 Next
11
12 Return result
13 End Function ' Mystery

ANS: The method returns a one-dimensional array containing the daily stock-price change
for each day of the month.

Exercises 7

7.12 (What’s Wrong with This Code?) Find the error(s) in the following code. The TwoDArrays
procedure should create a two-dimensional array and initialize all its values to one.

1 Sub TwoDArrays()
2 Dim array(3, 3) As Integer
3
4 ' assign 1 to all cell values
5 For i As Integer = 0 To 3
6 array(i, i) = 1
7 Next
8 End Sub ' TwoDArrays

ANS: Two nested For…Next loops should be used to assign each element in a two-dimen-
sional array. The corrected code is as follows:

1 Sub TwoDArrays()
2 Dim array As Integer(,)
3
4 array = New Integer(0 To 3, 0 To 3) {}
5
6 ' assign 1 to all cell values
7 For i As Integer = 0 To 3
8 For j As Integer = 0 To 3
9 array(i, j) = 1
10 Next j
11 Next i
12 End Sub ' TwoDArrays
