| 9227021274 | Selection sort | A sort that finds the smallest value in the array, swaps it with the current position, and then moves the current position over one. | 72 | |
| 9227021275 | Insert sort | A sort we move through the array and insert each element in the correct position in the array. | 73 | |

| 9227021301 | Primitive Types as Parameters | When a method copies the value and stores it in the local parameter. Any changes made are lost when control returns to the calling function. | 96 | |
| 9227021302 | Class Types as Parameters | When a method copies the reference to the memory address and stores it in the local parameter. Since the reference points to the original spot in memory all changes are saved. | 97 | |
