Thread: Printing out numbers from an Array.

Hi i have the following little programme which prints out some numbers from an Array i declared at the start which holds 5 values. Once the 5 values are printed the programme catches the exception and prints out the message, as there are no more numbers to print!.

Here is the code.

package ClientServer;
 
public class GoTooFar {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        int dan[] = {26, 42, 55, 67, 43};
 
        try {
 
            for (int counter = 0; counter <= dan.length; counter++) {
 
                System.out.println(dan[counter]);
            }
 
        } catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException e) {
 
            System.out.println("Youve gone too far");
 
        }
    }
}

As you can see the numbers seem to printed out all at the same time, (although scientifically i guess there is a fraction of a second between each one).

My question is how can i make there be 1 second in between printing out each digit?

Hi,

I have done as you advised with removing the exception handler and just changed the condition to less than.

Regarding the Thread and sleep part, can i do this in the same class or is a new one needed.?

You can do it in the same class.

and as for the InterruptedException, you can just throw it when you start your "main" method.

Thread.sleep(# of milliseconds); (just in case you want to change the time in between)

For example:

public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException
{
    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
    {
        System.out.println(i);
        Thread.sleep(1000); //sleeps for 1 second
    }
}

Many thanks, all working
