Question

The following piece of code is intended to find the count of negative numbers in the array. The code compiles correctly but it is giving the wrong answer. There are two logic errors in the code causing the incorrect result Identify the lines of code which are giving the incorrect result, re-write the lines of code with the logic errors corrected and give a brief explanation to why they are giving the incorrect result. i int [] list = {-4, 6, 8, -3, 1, -6, 7, 3, -9, 2, -5, 3, 5}; 3 int count = 0; JOUL 5 for (int i = 1; i < list.length; i++) 6 { 7 if (list[i] < 0); count++; 9 } 10 11 System.out.println("Count of negative numbers in the list is " + count);

Answer 1

Answer:

Logic error1:
line 5 has a logic error.
i should be initialized with 0 not with 1.
FIX:
for (int i = 0;i<=list.length;i++)

Logic error2:
Line 7 has a logic error.
You have to remove semicolon at the end of line 7.
FIX:
if(list[i] < 0)
