these are the questions for the program above thank you

If an array had not been chosen to hold the data manipulated in this program, how else (i.e., with what other data types) could it have been represented?

Which approach, using an array or using the alternative you identified in question #1, is shorter/easier?

What is the output of this program?

What would be the result of using a println() statement to display the value of arraynum[8]?

How many values can arraynum contain, and why?
