What happens when you run a program that creates an array of ints and then sets a value beyond its length?

Question

Accepted Answer

If a program tries to access an element beyond the array&rsquo;s size, Java will throw an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
Example:

public class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int[] ints = new int[50];
        ints[60] = 12345;  // Error: index 60 doesn’t exist
    }
}


  Output:  


Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
    at Example.main(Example.java:4)
