10. If x is a sorted array of int values, which of the following shows a call to a method of the Arrays class that will determine if the value 7 exists in the array? (1 point)

a) int loc = java.util.Arrays.search(x, 7);

b) int loc = java.util.Arrays.binarySearch(x, 7);

c) int loc = java.util.Arrays.find(x, 7);

d) int loc = java.util.Arrays.locate(x, 7);

My Answer: B
Could someone please check my answer?

Thanks!

Yes, your answer is correct. The correct option is b) int loc = java.util.Arrays.binarySearch(x, 7).

To understand why this is the correct option, let's analyze each answer choice:

a) int loc = java.util.Arrays.search(x, 7);
This is not a valid method of the Arrays class. The Arrays class in Java does not have a method called "search".

c) int loc = java.util.Arrays.find(x, 7);
Again, this is not a valid method of the Arrays class. The Arrays class in Java does not have a method called "find".

d) int loc = java.util.Arrays.locate(x, 7);
Once again, this is not a valid method of the Arrays class. The Arrays class in Java does not have a method called "locate".

b) int loc = java.util.Arrays.binarySearch(x, 7);
This is the correct method call. The Arrays class in Java provides a method called "binarySearch" that can be used to search for a value in a sorted array. It returns the index of the value if it is found, or a negative value if it is not found.

Therefore, the correct answer is b) int loc = java.util.Arrays.binarySearch(x, 7).

Well done in choosing the correct option!
