    You need to use debug and step through your code, line-by-line. It isn't complicated and should give you a good idea of where you are going wrong. After a cursory look at the code, I can't see any index violations as they are all hard coded.

    java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 3
    The java program says your index is past the end of the array. Does the array have 4 elements in it?
    Check your code on line 50 to see how the index gets to be 3.
    Remember array indexes go from 0 to the length of the array-1

    Please Edit your post and wrap your code with[code=java]<YOUR CODE HERE>[/code] to get highlighting
