Java programming:

The feedback I received "responds badly to bad input. Fix 2"

Original question:

Write a program that creates a small (6-10) array of ints. Display your array elements, all on one line, using a foreach loop. In a try block, prompt the user to enter an index for the array and attempt to print the element with that index. Follow the try block with two catch blocks; one that detects an index out of bounds, and another that catches other bad inputs. Make sure the catch blocks are properly ordered (see page 464). Include a finally block that reports the size of the array. See Sample Runs below.

Sample Run 1

12 15 24 5 9 16

Enter any index of your array 5

The element at index 5 is 16

The array size is 6

Sample Run 2

12 15 24 5 9 16

Enter any index of your array 9

Error. Array index was out of bounds

The array size is 6

Sample Run 3

12 15 24 5 9 16 12 22

Enter any index of your array three

Bad input. Try again

The array size is 8

My code:

import java.util.*;

public class Program2 {

public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

int[] theElements = { 12, 15, 24, 5, 9, 16 };

int j = 1, index = -1;

String select;

while (true) { System.out.println("Sample Run " + j);

System.out.print(Arrays.toString(theElements)); System.out.print(" Enter any index of your array "); try { index = input.nextInt();

} catch (InputMismatchException ex) { System.out.print("Bad input. Try again"); } // for each loop for (int i : theElements) {

if (index > theElements.length || index < 0) { System.out.print(" Error. Array index was out of bounds"); } else {

System.out.print(" The element at index " + index + " is " + theElements[index]); System.out.print(" The array size is " + theElements.length); break; }

} j++; System.out.print(" want to continue (y/n) "); select = input.next();

if (select == "y" || select == "Y") { continue; } else {

break; }

}

}
