Question

Given the following array definition: \\[\text { int values }[5]=\\{4,7,6,8,2\\}\\] What does the following statement display? \\[\begin{aligned} \text { cout } &<<\text { values }[4]<<\text { " } \quad "<<(\text { values }[2]+\text { values }[3]) \\ &<<\quad \text { " } \quad<<++\text { values }[1]<<\text { endl } \end{aligned}\\]

Short answer

Answer: The output is [2, 14, 8].

Step-by-step solution

1. Finding the fifth element:

We need to find the value of '\\(\text{values}[4]\\)'. In the given array, the fifth element (at index 4) is 2.

2. Finding the sum of third and fourth elements:

We need to find the value of '(\text{values}[2]+\text{values}[3])'. In the array, the third and fourth elements are 6 and 8, respectively. The sum of these elements is 6 + 8 = 14.

3. Incrementing the second element:

We need to find the value of '\\(++\text{values}[1]\\)'. The second element in the array (at index 1) is 7. When incremented, it becomes 7 + 1 = 8. Now we assemble all the parts of the statement:

4. Combining the values:

Combining the values from steps 1, 2 and 3, the statement becomes: "\\[2\quad14\quad8\\]". This is the output of the statement: "\\[\begin{aligned} 2 \quad 14 \quad 8 \end{aligned}\\]".
