I’m building a new program, but when I run it, an error pops up. The error displayed is as follows:

"Index was outside the bounds of the array." "Index was outside the bounds of the array."

I have tried several workarounds, but they still do not get the desired results. If you have come across this situation and have a solution for the index was outside the bounds of the array problem, pls let me know. This is what I do:

if (posStatus[intUsersInput-1] == 0) //if pos is empty
 {
  posStatus[intUsersInput-1] += 1; 
 }//set it to 1
public int[] posStatus; 
 
 public UsersInput() 
 { 
  this.posStatus = new int[8]; 
 }
 
 int intUsersInput = 0; //this gets try parsed + validated that it's 1-9 
 
 if (posStatus[intUsersInput-1] == 0) //if i input 9 it should go to 8? 
 { 
  posStatus[intUsersInput-1] += 1; //set it to 1 
 }

Thanks.

    //if i input 9 it should go to 8?

    Hi, your problem is pretty simple. You just continue to work with the elements of the array. While looping through the array you should count 8 elements, they are still going to be array(0) – array(7) however.

  2. public int[] posStatus; 

public UsersInput() 
{ 
 //It means postStatus will contain 9 elements from index 0 to 8. 
 this.posStatus = new int[9]; 
}

int intUsersInput = 0; 

if (posStatus[intUsersInput-1] == 0) //if i input 9, it should go to 8? 
{ 
 posStatus[intUsersInput-1] += 1; //set it to 1 
}

  3. An array can be declared that contains 8 elements, not 9.

    this.posStatus = new int[8];

    This means that postStatus will have 8 elements from index 1 to 7.
