Question

A single dimensional array has N elements in it. What is the last subscript?

Options

• N

• N+1

• 0

• N−1

Answer 1

N−1

Explanation:

• In computer programming languages like Java, C, and C++, arrays use a zero-based indexing system, meaning the very first element is stored at index 0.
• Because counting begins at 0 instead of 1, the index position shifts down by one digit, making the final element of an array with N elements always sit at index N−1.
