Thread: Can't Fix Array Out of Bounds

Hey guys I made this program that counts the number of times a face value on a die is rolled, based on the user input, but i keep getting a out of bounds exception; HELP

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Random;
 
public class CountDiceRolls
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
       int numberOfDieRolls = rollADie();
       faceValueOfDie(numberOfDieRolls);
    }
 
    public static int rollADie()
    {
       Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
       System.out.print("How Many Times Would You Like To Roll A Die: ");
       int num = input.nextInt();
 
     return num;
    }
 
    public static void faceValueOfDie(int numberOfDieRolls)
    {
        Random random = new Random();
 
        int [] faceVal = new int [numberOfDieRolls];
 
        for(int count = 0; count < numberOfDieRolls; count++)
        {
         int face = 1 + random.nextInt(6);
         faceVal[face]++;
        }
        display(faceVal);
    }
 
    public static void display(int [] faceVal)
    {
     System.out.print("Face\tTimes\n");
     for(int counter = 1; counter <= 6; counter++)
     {
      System.out.println(" " + counter + "\t\t  " + faceVal[counter]);
     }
    }
 
 
}

Which line is giving your the error?
How many indices does your array have? Print it out to be sure.
Which index are you trying to access? Print it out to be sure.

Also, don't forget the highlight tags when posting code.

Debugging with System.out.println();

Hi,
I think you need to change your code.
for <<<
public static void faceValueOfDie(int numberOfDieRolls)
{
Random random = new Random();

int [] faceVal = new int [numberOfDieRolls];

for(int count = 0; count < numberOfDieRolls; count++)
{
int face = 1 + random.nextInt(6);
faceVal[face]++;
}
display(faceVal);
}

>>>
user faceVal[count] to store like faceVal[count]=face;
