Transcript text: Given the following array declaration, what value is stored in memory immediately after the 3 ?

\end{aligned}

Solution
The answer is the last one: 4.
Explanation for each option:
6: This is incorrect because 6 is the last element in the array.
Depends on the compiler: This is incorrect because the value stored in memory is determined by the array's structure and initialization, not by the compiler.
2: This is incorrect because 2 is the second element in the first row of the array.
4: This is correct because the array is stored in row-major order. After the first row \(\{1, 2, 3\}\), the next value in memory is the first element of the second row, which is 4.
Summary:
The value stored in memory immediately after the 3 is 4.
