Final Exam
1. Given an array of n elements, write an algorithm to find a number that has a duplicate.
2. Given the numbers 5, 2, 3, 1, 4, 9, write an algorithm that selects all even numbers in the list and sort them in order.
3. What is the main difference between a “while” loop and a “do… while” loop?
4. The syntax of a “for” loop is:

int Prime[ ] = {1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13};
Write the value for Prime[4]: _________
What does Prime[ ] represent? ________________
Answer questions 6-7 based on the following program function:
int factorial(int n)
{
if (n==0)
return 1;
else
return (n * factorial(n-1));
}
6. What value is returned from the function above if you run the following line in the main program?
factorial(0);
7. Explain what will happen in line 6 (the last return line).
