ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

I'm trying to get the program to print the difference between two sales figures using an array.
I can't figure out what the problem is.
Any help will be greatly appriciated.
Here is the code

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Earnings
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{

final int salesReps = 2; //Number of sales reps to compare

double[] sales = new double[salesReps]; //Create array

Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in); //For keyboard input

System.out.println("Enter the total sales amount for "
+salesReps+ " sales representatives to compare. "); //Ask for sales figures

for (int index = 0; index <salesReps; index++)
{
System.out.print("Sales representative " + (index +1) + " sold ");
sales[index] = keyboard.nextDouble();
}
if (sales[0]>sales[2])
{
System.out.println("Sales representative 1 sold"
+(sales[0]-sales[1])+ " more than sales representative 2.");
}
else
{
System.out.println("Sales representative 2 sold"
+(sales[1]-sales[0])+ " more than sales representative 1");
}
}
}
