absolutely incorrect examples and tests. if 0 is not odd (according to task description) we should sort elements 1,3,5 etc. Seems in sample and tests elements 0, 2, 4 are sorted. it's incorrect. and according to description we should sort ascending, but in sample and tests seems sorting is descending. Am I wrong?

But isn't the check performed at the start of the expression? Array length will always be greater than or equal to zero. If the value of n is negative then the function returns -1 in this solution.

Edit:
Okay, I'm dumb :D

@vasyl.shevchuk.78 yes you are right. It would be better to test for it. But the Kata description was a bit vague about the possible values of n and since that case is never tested so I assumed n >= 0 always.

Read about "?" operator in java.

This solution will throw ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException if n will negative
