    you are trying to access element at index 10. But actually, the element with the highest index is 9.
    The length of the array is 10 (base count is 1). The highest index is 9 (base count is 0).

    Therefore. an array of length 10 has indexes 0-9 only.

    The max index is the array length-1. The code needs to set its starting index to the max value(length-1), not the length of the array.

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:
    [code=java]
    YOUR CODE GOES HERE
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
