We discussed using the expression `sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]` to calculate the number of elements in an array. The expression `sizeof(a) / sizeof(t)` where `t` is the type of `a`'s elements would also work, but it's considered an inferior technique. Why? +Answer: +Using the type of the array's first element means that if you change the type of an array, it won't break the code that calculates the number of elements. + > 3. Write a declaration of an array named weekend containing seven `bool` values. Include an initialize that makes the first and last values `true`; all other values should be `false`. -> 6. Calculators, watches, and other electronic devices often rely on 7 segment displays for numerical output. To form a digit, such devices turn on some of the seven segments while leaving others off. +> 4.
