Answer:
When a programmer tries to access an item in an array cell whose index is greater than or equal to the array's logical size, this data element or item is garbage. This means that currently, the item is not the part of the program's useful data. Garbage contains objects or data which will not be used by a program running on it. So the value returned could be either of the two:
- Value would be an arbitrary or random number if it is an array of numbers. Arbitrary means that the value is not predefined or specified in advance.
- Value returned would be null if it is an array of objects.
Answer:
The rules which could trigger at any period in time are referred to as the conflict set. A programming bug/conflict can occur when two programs compete for the same resource such as memory or register etc.
A Conflict Resolution Strategy is is a protocol which highlights which decision will be triggered first.
The best way to resolve conflict is to first determine the kind of conflict it is. Hardware conflicts can be resolved by first troubleshooting the hardware and in some instances unplugging the hardware causing the conflict.
When hardware creates conflicts it may be due to a driver issue. reverting to an old driver or updating the existing one may solve the problem.
Software conflicts can be resolved by installing updates or complete uninstallation.
