CS 171 & 171L Introduction to Computer Science I & Lab Fall 2019 

Homework Assignment 8 - Arrays

In this lab you will continue working with java arrays.

Complete the methods in HW8.java, as shown below. After you complete each method, test it by running the main method. Consider adding other interesting test cases.

Include your name in a comment at the top of the Java source file. Rename the file so that it reflects your initials, such as HW8_AB.java.
