declaring array of string

Question

I am trying to declare array of strings like this
String[] password = new String[7];
and i recieve this error

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 7
at Program.main(Program.java:17)

when i do the other way around
String password[] = new String[7];

it still gives an error

Answer 1

no i am trying to save 8 strings in this array through a loop... but it gives error when i try to declare it

Answer 2

Thanks buddy it is working

Answer 3

Thats the problem the size of array is 7 and you cant store 8 string....at 8th string (7 time of loop) You are using password[7] variable which doesn't exist....!

Answer 4

both are right...i think When you run the program You are forget that Index is from 0 so that last index is 6 not 7
