    Default Run Time Error.

    This program is used to get the array size and then store some values and get the highest value that the user typed.
    I'm using array and I don't know what's the problem. When in runtime a window pops out and it say ArrayIndexOutofBoundsException. Please help im new in java and im also a student.


    import java.util.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
     
     
     
    public class zy
    {
     
        public static void main(String args[])
        {
     
    		String input,input2;
    		int bck,num,h=0,test=0;
     
    		do{
     
     
    		input=JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"Enter Array Size","Array Size",JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
    		num=Integer.parseInt(input);
     
    		for(int ctr=1;ctr<num+1;ctr++)
    		{
     
    		input2=JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"Enter Number " +ctr,"Numbers to test" ,JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
    		int	num2=Integer.parseInt(input2);
    		int array[]=new int[num2];
     
     
    		if (test==0)
    		{
    			h=array[num2];
    			test=1;
    		}
    		else if (array[num2]>h)
    		{
    			h=array[num2];
    		}
    		}
    		JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Highest No: " +h,"Highest Number",JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
    		bck=JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null,"Do you want to try again?","CONFIRMATION",JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
    		h=0;
    		test=0;
    		}while(bck==JOptionPane.YES_OPTION);
        }

    Have you remembered that Java arrays are zero-based? The index of the 1st element in a Java array is 0. The index of the last element in a Java array is whateverYouCalledYourArray[whateverYouCalledYourArray.length - 1] (unless it's a zero-length array, in which case it has no valid indexes)

    Which line in your program did the error occur on? What was the value of the invalid index?
    The full text of message will say.

    Move your ctrl++ to the end of the for loop, inside the for loops closing bracket. that way on the first run through, ctrl will equal zero.

    You also have an if block that would defeat the purpose of making that change and it should be eliminated.
