Problem with ragged array

[Metastar]

The problem I'm having is that I need to read the data from a file into a ragged array based on country region number. I have it in an array and was attempting to just read from the array but i keep getting an array index out of bounds exception. It's a small program so I'll post all of it.

the error I get is:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 14
at project1cquast.Main.main(Main.java:129)
Java Result: 1

The only thing is that my 2d ragged array size is over the number of elements needed so I don't see why I'm getting the exception.

I marked 129 above because I am not sure how to put the code line numbers in here. Please let me know what you think :)

[Norm]

i keep getting an array index out of bounds exception

can you test if your index will be OOB before using it?
Test the length of: myCountries2[2] before trying to index it

For debugging use println("myCs2=" + Arrays.toString(myCountries2[2])); to show the contents of that array.

[Metastar]

so for the Arrays part what would I use in place of Arrays? Should I create a new array for it? Confused on what goes there lol. The length is 7 though

Sorry for the trivial question, just not making the connection somewhere with the debug code

lol wow nevermind, I totally knew Arrays was in util just had a major brain fart lol

[Metastar]

Got it figured out :)
