having prob with Exception

[eva]

I have following piece of code. I am adding an integer to the 5th index which exceeds the limit of the array. For this, I want to show a user friendly message to the user. But my message "Exception: Array limit exceeded." is not displayed and complier throws exception.

Code:

	        int array[] = new int[5];
		
		for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
		try{
			array[i] = i+10;
		}catch(java.lang.IllegalAccessError ex){
			System.out.println("Exception: Array limit exceeded.");
		}
		}

- PEACE

Try this:

Code:

            int array[] = new int[5];
            
        for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
              try{    
                  array[i] = i+10;
              }catch(java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException ex){
                System.out.println("Exception: Array limit exceeded.");
        }
              }

EDIT: working and forum browsing don't mix - not 100% if this will fix your problem... there also seems to be extra curly braces, so note - I haven't tried this yet.

EDIT: Sorry, that'll be the last time I don't pay attention... - it appears you're not catching the correct exception, so catch it.
