ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException super classes are Exception RutimeExcepion and

IndexOutOfBoundsException.

The ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown when an index is passed to an array

which doesn’t contain an element at that particular index location.

 ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown to indicate that we are trying to

access array element with an illegal index.
 This exception is thrown when the index is either negative or greater than or
equal to the size of the array.

When Should You Use It?

 Since Java has internal classes and object structures to manage Arrays — and
because said objects will produce errors like
the java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException on their own — there will
rarely be a situation where you’ll need to explicitly throw your own
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. For example, if you were creating your own
data structure object that contained a non-array collection of elements, you’d
likely want to explicitly throw a java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException, as
opposed to a java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, since the JVM
will handle that for you most of the time.
