线程“ main”中的异常java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException：3

Question

I'm trying to implement an in java. So I create a grid and the user is requested to give its dimensions. The problem is that when , the program throws that exception. For example, a grid 5x5 is created without problems, whereas a grid 5x7 is not. I'm not sure how I can fix it. Here is the code:

JFrame frame = new JFrame();
String rows =  JOptionPane.showInputDialog(frame,
                "Συμπληρώστε τον αριθμό γραμμών του πλέγματος: \n",
                "Δημιουργία πλέγματος",
                JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
String cols =  JOptionPane.showInputDialog(frame,
                "Συμπληρώστε τον αριθμό στηλών του πλέγματος: \n",
                "Δημιουργία πλέγματος",
                JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
int rowsnum = Integer.parseInt(rows); 
int colsnum = Integer.parseInt(cols);
transient Image buffer; 

GridCell gridCell[][] = new GridCell[rowsnum][colsnum];
public Map()
{
    super();
    //{{INIT_CONTROLS
    setLayout(new GridLayout(rowsnum,colsnum));
    //}}
    for(int i=0;i<rowsnum;i++){
        for(int j=0;j<colsnum;j++){
            System.out.println ("i=" + i + " j="+ j);
           gridCell[j][i] = new GridCell();
           gridCell[j][i].setPosition(new Point(j,i));
           add(gridCell[j][i]);
        }
    }
}

So as you see, I'm printing i and j in each loop to see where the problem is. And the result is (when I try to create a grid 3x5):

run:

i=0 j=0
i=0 j=1
i=0 j=2
i=0 j=3
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 3
    at Map.<init>(Map.java:32)

Where line 32 is:

gridCell[j][i] = new GridCell();

If anyone could help me I'd be grateful!

PS Ignore the greek! :-D

Answer 1

On this line you create a 2D array that is rowsnum by colsnum

GridCell gridCell[][] = new GridCell[rowsnum][colsnum];

However here you use it as if it is colsnum by rowsnum .

for(int i=0;i<rowsnum;i++){
    for(int j=0;j<colsnum;j++){
        System.out.println ("i=" + i + " j="+ j);
       gridCell[j][i] = new GridCell();

i goes between 0 and rowsnum (exclusive) but goes in the dimention that is between 0 and colsnum (exclusive)

j goes between 0 and colsnum (exclusive) but goes in the dimention that is between 0 and rowsnum (exclusive).

Solution

Either i and j are the wrong way round in gridCell[j][i] (and elsewhere) or rowsnum and colsnum are the wrong way round in new GridCell[rowsnum][colsnum] . Which it is depends on what you're trying to achieve, although conventionally its often array(rows,columns); implying i and j are the wrong way round

Answer 2

The issue is with the way row index (i) and col injex (j) are used in your code. Please interchange i and j in the below code

       gridCell[j][i] = new GridCell();
       gridCell[j][i].setPosition(new Point(j,i));
       add(gridCell[j][i]);
