TRUE/FALSE

1. True/False: The amount of memory used by an array depends upon the array’s data type and the number of elements in the array.

2. True/False: The statement

double money[25.00];

is a valid C++ array definition.

3. True/False: An array initialization list must be placed on one single line.

4. True/False: Assume array1 and array2 are the names of arrays. To assign the contents of array2 to array1, you would use the following statement.

array1 = array2;

5. True/False: When you pass an array as an argument to a function, the function can modify the contents of the array.

6. True/False: C++ limits the number of array dimensions to two.

7. True/False: If you attempt to store data past an array’s boundaries, it is guaranteed that the compiler will issue an error.

8. True/False: An individual array element can be processed like any other type of C++ variable.

9. True/False: Although two-dimensional arrays are a novel idea, there is no known way to pass one to a function.

10. True/False: Each individual element of an array can be accessed by the array name and an element number, called a subscript.

11. If an array is partially initialized, the uninitialized elements will be set to zero.

12. A vector object automatically expands in size to accommodate the items stored in it.
