arrays question

[jimgym1989]

we have a question on our exam a couple of days ago..it is True or False.
This is the question

int[]list = new int[10];

the statement

list[5] = list[3] + list[2];

updates the content of the fifth component of the array list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The correct answer here is False..the problem is I don't get it why is it False..
can someone explain this to me.. :D

If you create an array of ints, all the ints in the array are initialized to zero.
Adding zero and zero is zero and list[5] was zero before so nothing is updated.

Also, list[5] is the sixth element of list, since arrays are zero-indexed.
