One last quick question

[jigglywiggly]

Yeah I know, I've been asking a lot of questions but this is the last one for a whileD

this is the question
e) Write a loop that prints to the screen the last letter in each string stored in a String array named stringArray starting with the first String in the array and ending with the last. (Example: if stringArray = {“Hello”, “my”, “name”, “is”, “Bob”} your loop should print “oyesb” to the screen.)

So first in netbeans to test if my code even works I just created a stringArray

  String stringArray[] = new String[5];
       stringArray[0] = "hello";
       stringArray[1] = "my";
       stringArray[2] = "name";
       stringArray[3] = "is";
       stringArray[4] = "bob";

So then I went ahead and tried this just to get an idea

int j = stringArray.length;
        for(int i=0; i<j; i++) {
            int mn=stringArray[i].length();

Course all that will do is tell how long the string is, as in int value.

How would I tell it to go to the last place and store it?

I tried something like this except it does not make much sense

  for (int dra = stringArray[i].length() - 1; dra >= 0; dra--)
            {
            char g=stringArray[i].charAt(mn);
            }

This goes inside the other for loop

So together it looks like this

 String stringArray[] = new String[5];
       stringArray[0] = "hello";
       stringArray[1] = "my";
       stringArray[2] = "name";
       stringArray[3] = "is";
       stringArray[4] = "bob";
       String d= "";
       
        int j = stringArray.length;
        for(int i=0; i<j; i++) {
            int mn=stringArray[i].length();    
 
            for (int dra = stringArray[i].length() - 1; dra>= 0; dra--)
            {
            char g=stringArray[i].charAt(mn);
            }
            







}

Oh and heres the error

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 5

rahul, it's kind of rude to step on someone else's thread. Best to delete the text in your post and start a new thread so as not to hijack jiggly wiggly's.

Reason is to have that error is, charAt() method refers zero base index.

       for(int i = 0; i < stringArray.length; i++) {
           d += stringArray[i].charAt(stringArray[i].length() - 1);
       }

Yes rahul, it's mess up all. I'm too here. Please ask your question in the correct place rahul. Don't send yours in others, if yours not related to it. And please read our FAQ page as well.

jigglywiggly, you should use s.charAt() not s[i].length.
i think this same problem has been asked and solved in another thread a week ago. anybody remember the link?

Thanks again you guys, one of the most helpful forums everDD

If you have solve the problem, please mark it as solved.
