It assigns the two values in the initialization list to the first two elements but leaves the other elements with the values currently in memory. b. It assigns the two values in the initialization list to the first and second elements, third and fourth elements, and fifth and sixth elements. c. This statement is invalid. d. It assigns the two values in the initialization list to the first two elements and default values to the other elements.

Answer 1

It assigns the two values in the initialization list to the first two elements and default values to the other elements.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The array initialization

Required

Interpret the statement

double gallons[6] implies that the length/size of the array gallons is 6.

In other words, the array will hold 6 elements

{12.75, 14.87} implies that only the first two elements of the array are initialized ; the remain 4 elements will be set to default 0.
