ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: Index 3 out of bounds for length 3

Question

I am getting an exception and i don´t understand why

public static void main(String[] args) {

    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

    int n = 3;
    int[] numbers = new int[n];
    float total = 0;


    for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++) {

        System.out.println("Please type the number " + i + ":");
        numbers[i] = input.nextInt();

        total = total + numbers[i];

    }


    System.out.println("The average of the 3 number is: " + total / n);
}

Console:

Please type the number 1:
3
Please type the number 2:
4
Please type the number 3:
5

Answer 1

because array index start at 0

 public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
int n = 3;
int[] numbers = new int[n];
float total = 0;

for (int i = 0; i <= 2; i++) {
int row=i+1;
    System.out.println("Please type the number " + row + ":");
    numbers[i] = input.nextInt();

    total = total + numbers[i];

}

System.out.println("The average of the 3 number is: " + total / n);
}

Answer 2

Indexes starts from 0. Your length is 3 and your counter variable ( i ) starts from 1.

You can use

for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)

Answer 3

Try this, insert this inside your main method

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

    int n = 3;
    int[] numbers = new int[n];
    float total = 0;


    for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {

        System.out.println("Please type the number " + (i + 1) + ":");
        numbers[i] = input.nextInt();

        total = total + numbers[i];

    }


    System.out.println("The average of the 3 number is: " + total / n);

If you're facing error listed below

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: Index 3 out of bounds for length 3

var arr = arrayOf("One","Two","Three")
 println(arr[3])

In this Array we just defined three values and index start from 0, So Index 3 doesn't exist in array that's why it's giving this Exception

Try to print index value which includes in Array Such As

println(arr[1])
