Question 115 of 481
1Z0-811 Arrays and Methods Practice Question
A method 'public static int[] generate() { int[] result = new int[10]; for (int i = 0; i < result.length; i++) result[i] = i * 2; return result; }' is defined. Which statement correctly calls this method and stores the result?
⚠ Common exam trap
Oracle often tests the distinction between array type and primitive type in method return values and variable declarations, trapping candidates who confuse `int[]` with `int` or who forget that a method call must assign the result to a compatible variable to be useful.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
int[] data = generate();
The method `generate()` returns an `int[]` (an array of integers), and the assignment `int[] data = generate();` correctly declares a reference variable of type `int[]` and assigns the returned array to it. The method is static, so it can be called directly from a static context without an instance.
