Write a method in JAVA called collapse that accepts an array of integers as a parameter and returns a new array containing the result of replacing each pair of integers with the sum of that pair.

For example, if an array called list stores the values {7, 2, 8, 9, 4, 13, 7, 1, 9, 10}, then the call of collapse(list) should return a new array containing {9, 17, 17, 8, 19}. The first pair from the original list is collapsed into 9 (7 + 2), the second pair is collapsed into 17 (8 + 9), and so on. If the list stores an odd number of elements, the final element is not collapsed. For example, if the list had been {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, then the call would return {3, 7, 5}.

Your method should not change the array that is passed as a parameter.

Explanation / Answer

public static int[] collapseThis(int[] array) { int size = 0; if(isEven(array.length)) size = array.length/2; else size = array.length/2+1; int[] collapsedArray = new int[size]; for(int i=0, j=0; j
