Question

A program uses two parallel arrays: names and creditscore. The names array holds customer names and the creditscore array holds customer credit scores. If a particular customer's name is stored in names \([82],\) where would that customer's credit score be stored?

Short answer

Answer: The index of the customer's credit score in the creditscore array is 82.

Step-by-step solution

Identify the index of the customer's name in the names array

In the given exercise, the customer's name is stored in the names array at index \([82]\).

Determine the index of customer's credit score in the creditscore array

Since the arrays are parallel, the customer's credit score will also have the same index in the creditscore array. Thus, the credit score of the particular customer will be stored in creditscore at index \([82]\).
