You are overwriting String[] ons with split. If i enter two words, then that means the array size is going to 2 which causes error on line 11. It because you want to overwrite the fifth element, but array has only two.

ip.nextInt() reads integer but not delimiter after, so do one ip.nextLine() after to read the delimiter int a = ip.nextInt(); ip.nextLine(); then you are trying add name at the end of array ons. if input has 4 names, array after split has length=4 with last index 3 and index 4 does not exist you can and name at the end of input string (with delimiter) before spliting
