Sample Output

Here is some sample output from the program. Different catch{} blocks catch the two different exceptions. The InputMismatchException did not contain a message.


C:\chap81>java IndexPractice

        at java.util.Scanner.nextInt(Unknown Source)

Good-by

A more sensible program would use a loop to collect data from the user and place it in the array. Exceptions would cause the program to repeat the prompt. This would be much more user-friendly than halting. If a user had already entered 999 data items, it would not be friendly to crash if item 1000 is wrong!
