Example: IndexOutOfBoundsException

Thrown to indicate that an index of some sort (such as to an array, to a string, or to a vector) is out of range. Applications can subclass this class to indicate similar exceptions.

The IndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown when attempting to access an invalid index within a collection, such as an array.

public class IndexOutOfBoundsExceptionExample {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    int[] arr = new int[5];

    try {
      System.out.println(arr[6]);
    } catch (IndexOutOfBoundsException e) {
      System.out.println("This is your problem:");
      System.out.println("Error: " + e);
    }
  }
}

Output

This is your problem:
Error: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: Index 6 out of bounds for length 5
