ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 10 ??

[Yakg]

hey, I'm receiving this message not for the first time in my program, could you tell me why this is happening and how to fix it?

Here's the method

public String toString(){
int i;
for (i=1; i<MAX && _points[i] !=null; i++);
return ("The polygon has 5 points: " +"("+ _vertices[i].toString() +")");

}

//thanks.

Suppose none of the _points are null; the loop can only terminate when i == MAX; is the value MAX a valid index value in the _vertices array?

kind regards,

Doesnt your array starts with 0 and not 1.

public String toString(){
int i;
for ([B][COLOR="Red"]i=1[/COLOR][/B]; i<MAX && _points[i] !=null; i++); 
return ("The polygon has 5 points: " +"("+ _vertices[i].toString() +")");

}
