/**
 * A Grid object holds the currently known values of the Sudoku puzzle.
 * The grid consists of 9x9 cells that hold integer values from 0 to 9.
 * A value of 0 indicates that the cell is empty.
 *
 * Each of the 81 cells has a location which is used to identify a
 * specific cell. There are 81 locations, labelled location 0 to location 80.
 * Cell locations are ordered from left-to-right and top-down.
 * For example, location 0 refers to the top-leftmost cell.
 * Location 8 refers to the top-righttmost cell.
 * Location 71 refers to the bottom-leftmost cell.
 * Location 80 refers to the bottom-rightmost cell.
 *
 * The grid consists of 9 columns, labelled column 0 to column 8.
 * The grid consists of 9 rows, labelled row 0 to row 8.
 *
 * The grid consists of 9 subgrids, labelled subgrid 0 to subgrid 8.
 * Each subgrid contains a subgrid of 3x3 cells.
 * Subgrid 0 contains cells - 0, 1, 2, 9, 10, 11, 18, 19, 20.
 * Subgrid 8 contains cells - 60, 61, 62, 69, 70, 71, 78, 79, 80

PLEASE HELP ME!!

Please use the code tags to make your code readable (see my signature). The error is fairly descriptive and points directly to the problem: no main method. If you don't understand what this means I suggest reading Lesson: A Closer Look at the "Hello World!" Application (The Java™ Tutorials > Getting Started)

Again, read the tutorial I linked above. It describes command line arguments, which I presume when you run the program don't provide - trying to access an index of an empty array will throw an exception. Also see
Arrays (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Language Basics)
