Thread: Split a string into individual characters

Hi,

I want to read in a word from the user and split the string up into each individual characters, and print the individual characters.

What classes/methods do i need for this ?

Thanks i have had a go at it.

The program runs as i wanted but it is throwing an exception at the end of it:

run:
Enter a word:
liverpool
l
i
v
e
r
p
o
o
l
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 9
at latesttasks.Task21.main(Task21.java:22)
Java Result: 1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 3 seconds)

Here is the code:

package latesttasks;
 
// Read in a word as a string and split and print individual characters
import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class Task21 {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
 
        int stringLength;
        char characters[];
        String input;
 
        System.out.println("Enter a word: ");
        input = scan.nextLine();
        stringLength = input.length();
        characters = input.toCharArray();
 
        for (int i = 0; i <= stringLength; i++) {
            System.out.println(characters[i]);
        }
    }
}

--- Update ---

I have just realised the error,

i need to do one less on the loop because as it stands the program would be trying to get one index too many.
