int[] n={0,1,0,-1}; // loop over the array, // starting at the 2nd value for (int i=1;i<n.length;i++) { // if the element is zero // and the element before it is not zero if(n[i]==0 && n[i-1]!= 0){ // assign the value of the element // before this to x int x= n[i-1]; // assign the actual element's value // to the element before it n[i-1]= n[i]; // assign the value of x to the // actual element n[i]= x; // print the third element of the array System.out.print(n[2]); }

The if statement is only true for the 3rd element of the array. So, x is 1 n[1] is set to 0 n[2] is set to x which is 1. 1 is the output.

You mean the whole array? for (int i : yourArray) System.out.println(i);

Yes. I forgot. Printed it using this for( int j=0;j<n.length;j++){ System.out.print(n[j]) ; } Thanks.
