Search Loop

The type String[] of the formal parameter array says that an array of String references is expected, but does not say how long the array is. Also notice how this static method is used in main().

Continue developing the program. The for loop will look through the cells of the array one by one starting at cell 0. Fill in the first blank so that it does this.

class Searcher
{
  // seek target in the array of strings.
  // return the index where found, or -1 if not found.
  public static int search( String[] array, String target )
  {
     for ( int j=0; j   array.length; j++ )
       if ( array[j]  null )
         // do something here with a non-null cell
  }
}

class SearchTester
{
  public static void main ( String[] args )
  {
    . . . . . .
    int where = Searcher.search( strArray, "Peoria" );
    . . . . . .
  }
}

However, unless it is full, not all cells of the array will contain a String reference. cells that contain null must be skipped. Fill in the second blank to do this.
