    Question Having a java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException.

    I am writing a code but I am getting a java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 2.Can anyone tell me what could be the reason for this exception?
    Thanks in advance.
    import java.util.Scanner;
    class Joueurs
    {
      public static void main(String[] args)
      {
        Scanner entrée = new Scanner(System.in);
        String joueur1 = entrée.nextLine();
        String joueur2 = entrée.nextLine();
        int longueur = 0;
        int longueur1= joueur1.length();
        int longueur2= joueur2.length();
        if(longueur1 > longueur2)
        {
          longueur = longueur1;
        }else if(longueur1 < longueur2){
          longueur = longueur2;}
        for (int iCar = 0; iCar < longueur ; iCar++)
        {
          if( joueur1.charAt(iCar)< joueur2.charAt(iCar)){
            System.out.println(1);
            iCar = longueur-1 ;
          }else if( joueur1.charAt(iCar)> joueur2.charAt(iCar)){
            System.out.println(2);
            iCar = longueur-1 ;
          }
          if((longueur1 < longueur) && (longueur1== iCar)){
            System.out.println(2);
            iCar = longueur-1 ;
          }
          else if((longueur2< longueur) && (longueur2== iCar))
          {
            System.out.println(1);
            iCar = longueur-1 ;
          }else if
            (longueur1 == longueur2)  {
            System.out.println("=");

    StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 2.
    Can anyone tell me what could be the reason for this exception?
    The exception is caused by code that uses an index of 2 with a String that only has two characters or less. Remember that indexes start at 0. The String needs at least 3 characters to use an index of 2.

    What is the length of the String you are using charAt with? Make sure the max index used is less than the length of the String.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Thanks for your help, Norm. I solved the problem. Here is the correct code according to my current level. I am a beginner in Java programming.
    {
      public static void main(String[] args)
      {
        Scanner entrée = new Scanner(System.in);
        String joueur1 = entrée.next();
        String joueur2 = entrée.next();
        int longueur = 0;
        int longueur1= joueur1.length();
        int longueur2= joueur2.length();
        int égalités = 0;
        if(longueur1 > longueur2)
        {
          longueur = longueur2;
        }else if(longueur1 < longueur2){
          longueur = longueur1;
        }else{
          longueur = longueur2;
        }
        for (int iCar = 0; iCar < longueur ; iCar++)
        {
          if( joueur1.charAt(iCar)< joueur2.charAt(iCar)){
            System.out.println(1);
            iCar = longueur ;
          }else if( joueur1.charAt(iCar)> joueur2.charAt(iCar)){
            System.out.println(2);
            iCar = longueur ;
          }else if (joueur1.charAt(iCar)== joueur2.charAt(iCar)){
            égalités = égalités + 1;
          }
          if((iCar ==longueur1-1) &&( iCar ==longueur2-1)){
            System.out.println("=");
            iCar = longueur ; 
          }else   if((iCar ==longueur1-1) &&( iCar !=longueur2-1)){
            System.out.println(2);
            iCar = longueur ;
          }else if((iCar ==longueur2-1) &&( iCar !=longueur1-1)){
            System.out.println(1);
            iCar = longueur ;} 
        }
        System.out.println(égalités);
      }
    }
