problem with array error index out of bounds exception

[cn23271]

Hello dear java users,

I have programmed this array and cannot find what makes the arrays out of bounds.

Any help will be appreciated.

class DivideyVenceras {



public char tablero[][];

int dimension;


public static void main(String[]args){

DivideyVenceras t = new DivideyVenceras();

int x=0;
int y=0;


t.trimino ( 0, 0, x, y, 4);
t.imprimeTablero(0, 0, 4);




}

public void trimino ( int x0, int y0, int x, int y, int dimension){

int dim = dimension/2,
x5,
y5,
x1=0,
y1=0,
x2=0,
y2=0,
x3=0,
y3=0,
x4=0,
y4=0;
dimension=2;

tablero = new char [dimension][dimension];

if ( dimension == 2 ) { /* tablero 2x2 */
/* encontrar y dibujar trimino */
if ( x0 == x && y0 == y ){
/* coordenadas de subtablero 1 */
tablero[x0][y0] = '#';
tablero[x0+1][y0] = caracter();
tablero[(x0)][y0+1] = caracter();
tablero[(x0+1)][(y0+1)] = caracter();

}

The code does not compile, you haven't used code tags, and you haven't provided a stack trace. No-one's going to help you if you just throw a bunch of broken code at us and ask us to fix it without doing your part.

Well this is a forum for java beginners. My program seems to be ok in eclipse.
What do you mean with the code tags?

[code]These are code tags.[/code]
