What does the following code do? Assume list is an array of int values, temp is some previously initialized int value, and c is an int initialized to 0. for (j = 0; j < list.length; j++)
If (list[j] < temp) c++;

Question

What does the following code do? Assume list is an array of int values, temp is some previously initialized int value, and c is an int initialized to 0. for (j = 0; j < list.length; j++)
If (list[j] < temp) c++;
A) It finds the smallest value and stores it in temp.
B) It finds the largest value and stores it in temp.
C) It counts the number of elements equal to the smallest value in list.
D) It counts the number of elements in list that are less than temp.
E) It sorts the values in list to be in ascending order.

The code iterates through the array list and checks each element. If the element is less than the value of temp, c is incremented. Therefore, the code is counting the number of elements in list that are less than temp.
