Problem: Array Simulation
You are to simulate the execution of a method
that manipulates an array of integers. Consider the following method:
public static void mystery(int[] list) {
for (int i = 2; i < list.length; i++) {
list[i] = list[i] - list[i - 1];
}
}
In the left-hand column below are specific lists of integers. You are to
indicate in the right-hand column what values would be stored in the list
after method mystery executes if the integer list in the left-hand column
is passed as a parameter to mystery.
