"in program arrays12.java a swap method is called. does the swap method exchange parameter values x and y?"

Explanation:

Since the program is not given, I will try to guide you about the mode of parameters.

The meaning of swap is interchanging the values. It can be done by using temporary variable or without using it (if the values are integers).

While passing the parameters, there are two ways, call by value/pass by value and call by reference/ pass by reference.

If call by value, then the value gets swapped only inside the function and will not reflected in the calling portion. Call by reference is other way round.

answer; i believe the correct answer is network?

no. when the asker posts the question they can make a question worth what ever they think is a fair price. although it must be within the limit of the points they currently own. 5 is the minimum number of points a question can be worth. if a question is complicated or has lots of parts to it, it is better to make it worth more because more people will be more willing to answer.

hope this !
