Question

Which of the above choices (A, B, C or D) creates a utility class named AnimalFinder that defines 1 static method that searches through a list of Animals and determines if an animal exists within that list? The method takes 2 arguments:

  1. An Animal object that is being searched for
  2. an array of Animal objects to search through

A animal is assumed to be in the list if the animal's name and weight are equal.


// A

public class AnimalFinder {

    public static boolean animalExists(Animal needle, Animal[] hayStack) {

        for(int i = 0; i < hayStack.length; i++) {

            Animal tempAnimal = hayStack[i];

            if(

                tempAnimal.getAnimalName().equals(needle.getAnimalName())

                ||

                tempAnimal.getWeight().equals(needle.getWeight())

            )

            {

                return true;

            }

        }

        return false;

    }

}

 

// B

public class AnimalFinder {

    public static boolean animalExists(Animal needle, Animal[] hayStack) {

        for(int i = 0; i < hayStack.length; i++) {

            Animal tempAnimal = hayStack[i];

            if(

                tempAnimal.getAnimalName().equals(needle.getAnimalName())

                &&

                tempAnimal.getWeight().equals(needle.getWeight())

            )

            {

                return true;

            }

        }

        return false;

    }

}

 

// C

public class AnimalFinder {

    public static boolean animalExists(Animal needle, Animal[] hayStack) {

        for(int i = 0; i < hayStack.length; i++) {

            Animal tempAnimal = hayStack[i];

            if( tempAnimal.getAnimalName().equals(needle.getAnimalName()))

            {

                return true;

            }

            if( tempAnimal.getWeight().equals(needle.getWeight()))

            {

                return true;

            }

        }

        return false;

    }

}

 

// D

public class AnimalFinder {

    public static boolean animalExists(Animal needle, Animal[] hayStack) {

        for(int i = 0; i < hayStack.length; i++) {

            Animal tempAnimal = hayStack[i];

            if(

                tempAnimal.getAnimalName().equals(needle.getAnimalName())

                &&

                tempAnimal.getWeight().equals(needle.getWeight())

            )

            {

                return false;

            }

        }

        return true;

    }

}
