Convert a string of numbers into an array

Question

i\'m having problems creating a program that converts a string of numbers into an array.

i know there is a similar question on here, but all i have to work with is a se

Answer 1

Here is what is happening:

     numbers = keyboard.next();
     System.out.println(numbers);

//This line is creating an array with the length in characters of the String which in this case is 14
     int [] n1 = new int [numbers.length()];


//Then When you split the number there is really only 5 elements, yet numbers.length() is 14, therefore when asking for the array on position 6 it causes the exception.
     for(int n = 0; n < numbers.length(); n++) {
        n1[n] = Integer.parseInt(numbers.split(" ")[n]);

Aditionally you should just do this operation numbers.split(" ") once, and then just access it like this:

String [] stringParts = numbers.split(" "):

stringParts[n]

So basically your for is really something like this:

for(int n = 0; n < 14; n++)
{

}

and then numbers.split(" ") returns only 5 elements, since there is a total of 5 numbers, so when you ask for position 6, the exception is thrown as the array is only of size 5.
