Question

I’m doing an assignment that requires me to complete the following block of code:

public int[] test(String input) {
    return new int[1];
}

I’ve already filled in part of it (I have to manipulate the string). But to return my results in the array, how should I do this? I don’t see a clearly labeled array that I can write to; or can I create the array within the return line?

I could just be missing the point, and have to create my own array to replace the one given (just a thought).

Answer 1

What are the constraints on the assignment? Would it be wrong to declare a local array, such as:

int[] i = new int[1];
/** Modify i as needed */
return i;

Then you could manipulate i.

If that’s not allowed, then you can do something like:

return new int[] { /* int value(s) here, separated by commas */ };
