Array index out of bounds

[umaster]

Hey im pretty new to Java just started about 4 weeks ago and so far its ok some things are a bit confusing. Anywho i get this array index out of bounds exception = 5 error. I know that it is checking for a part of the array that doesn't exist but that is not possible seeing as how the loop on goes 5 times and there is definetly 5 values. I clearly am not seeing somthing and i need mores eyes to look at it from a different perspective maybe the problem can be found

Here is my code:

code:

/*  * Main.java  *  * Created on March 5, 2008, 2:17 PM  *  * To change this template, choose Tools | Template Manager  * and open the template in the editor.  */ /**  *  * @author XXXXX  */ public class Main {         /** Creates a new instance of Main */     public Main() {     }         /**      * @param args the command line arguments      */     public static void main(String[] args) {         // TODO code application logic here         double dblAveragenames[]= {0,0,0,0,0};         double dblAverageclass[]= {0,0,0,0,0};         double dblsum = 0;         int intcount3 = 0;         int intCount = 0;         int intcount2 = 0;         String strNames[] = {"Burishnakov","Chow Min","Greg","Bob","Josh"};         String strClass[] = {"Computers","Civics","Chemistry","Bio With Mike O","Physics"};         double dblMarks[][] = {{87.6,83.4,72.5,64.3,67.8},{82.5,68.9,52.0,23.4,83.2},{73.6,77.8,63.1,32.5,72.1},{71.6,73.6,61.0,63.2,75.3},{35.9,58.6,42.3,87.6,13.2}};         for(intCount=0; intCount<=5; intCount++)         {             dblsum = 0;             for (intcount2=0; intcount2<=5; intcount2++)             {                 dblsum = dblsum + dblMarks[intCount][intcount2];                 if(intCount>=5)                 {                   dblAveragenames[intCount] = dblsum/5;                 }             }         }         for(intcount3=0; intcount3<=5; intcount3++)         {             System.out.println(dblAveragenames[intcount3]);         }     } }

not totally sure here but shouldnt it be :

Java:

%for(intCount=0; intCount<=5; intCount++) what you put for(intCount=0; intCount<5; intCount++) % what i think it should be

not sure tho... give it a try

[umaster]

ok i tried it and it ran but now at the end i put the third for loop to see if it was doing what i wanted it to do and im gettiong 0.0 when im tryign to display the averages

[HeavenAgain]

code:

double dblAveragenames[]= {0,0,0,0,0};

this have 5 elements, therefore the "length" of this array is 5, and java is 0-based index and so index is 0 - 4

and now in your for loops you have

code:

for(intCount=0; intCount<=5; intCount++)

if you print out every intCount, the result should be, "0 1 2 3 4 5" notice we have 5, and you are trying to access index of 5, which does not exist according to your array

also another note, for your for loop, you can initialize variables within the first block, for example

code:

for (int count = 0; count < 5; count++)

[umaster]

ok im not getting the array out of index anymore but now its not getting any values i changed it so that is is now:

code:

for(intCount=0; intCount<5; intCount++)

and it runs but when is prints out the averages at the end apparently they are all 0.0

here are the results:

first of all I fixed your code made it cleaner [well imo]

code:

public static void main(String[] args) {         // TODO code application logic here         double dblAveragenames[]= {0,0,0,0,0};         double dblAverageclass[]= {0,0,0,0,0};         double dblsum = 0;                 String strNames[] = {"Burishnakov","Chow Min","Greg","Bob","Josh"};         String strClass[] = {"Computers","Civics","Chemistry","Bio With Mike O", "Physics"};         double dblMarks[][] = {{87.6,83.4,72.5,64.3,67.8},{82.5,68.9,52.0,23.4,83.2},         {73.6,77.8,63.1,32.5,72.1},{71.6,73.6,61.0,63.2,75.3},{35.9,58.6,42.3,87.6,13.2}};         for(int i=0; i<5; i++)         {             dblsum = 0;            for (int ii=0; ii<5; ii++)            {                 dblsum = dblsum + dblMarks[i][ii];                 dblAveragenames[i] = dblsum/5;             }         }         for(int iii=0; iii<5; iii++)          System.out.println(dblAveragenames[iii]);     } }

your for loops you should do them as this

code:

for (int varname=0; boolean expression;counter)  {bhal...} what you do is int varname; for (varname; boolean expression;counter)  {bhal...}

you are not going to use the var after the loop then why make it gobal?

EDIT : btw i jsut fixed your code in the reply window do compile it and check it, might miss a semicolon or sometthing silly

[umaster]

ok i got it. It works now im getting real numbers and ive checked them and they work thank you guys

Here is a refrence for those whow might have this problem in the future it is the fixed code:

code:

package javaproject3; /*  * Main.java  *  * Created on March 5, 2008, 2:17 PM  *  * To change this template, choose Tools | Template Manager  * and open the template in the editor.  */ /**  *  * @author GAngelucci  */ public class Main {         /** Creates a new instance of Main */     public Main() {     }         /**      * @param args the command line arguments      */     public static void main(String[] args) {         // TODO code application logic here         double dblAveragenames[]= {0,0,0,0,0};         double dblAverageclass[]= {0,0,0,0,0};         double dblsum = 0;                 String strNames[] = {"Burishnakov","Chow Min","Greg","Bob","Josh"};         String strClass[] = {"Computers","Civics","Chemistry","Bio With Mike O","Physics"};         double dblMarks[][] = {{87.6,83.4,72.5,64.3,67.8},{82.5,68.9,52.0,23.4,83.2},         {73.6,77.8,63.1,32.5,72.1}, {71.6,73.6,61.0,63.2,75.3},{35.9,58.6,42.3,87.6,13.2}};         for(int i=0; i<5; i++)         {             dblsum = 0;             for (int ii=0; ii<5; ii++)             {                 dblsum = dblsum + dblMarks[i][ii];                 if(ii<=5)                 {                   dblAveragenames[i] = dblsum/5;                 }             }         }         for(int iii=0; iii<5; iii++)         {             System.out.println(dblAveragenames[iii]);         }     } }

[syntax_error]

why do you need

code:

if(ii<=5)                 {                   dblAveragenames[i] = dblsum/5;                 }

[wtd]

code:

double dblAveragenames[]= {0,0,0,0,0};         double dblAverageclass[]= {0,0,0,0,0};         double dblsum = 0;

Even correct Hungarian notation makes Zombie Jesus cry. This isn't even correct Hungarian notation.

it was an assignment i wonly explained one part dont worry about the rest it works now
