Java array index out of bounds

I just started a unit in arrays, and I gave some sample code to see this very basic array starter Basically, all I have to do is make two arrays and ask about the temperature on that day of the week After collecting the information, it will simply spit out a string like this

The temperature on Monday is 16 degrees

The temperature on Tuesday is 18 degrees

... etc

Based on what I understand from the sample code I received, I'm doing the right thing But when I tried to run the program (in NetBeans), I got this error

This is the code:

public static void main(String[] args)throws IOException {
        // TODO code application logic here
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (system.in));
        String temp[]= new String[7];
        String day[]= new String[7];
        day[1]=("Monday");
        day[2]=("Tuesday");
        day[3]=("Wednesday");
        day[4]=("Thursday");
        day[5]=("Friday");
        day[6]=("Saturday");
        day[7]=("Sunday");
        for (int i=0; i <7; i++){
            System.out.println("Please enter the temperature for" + day[i]);
            temp[i]=br.readLine();
        }
        for (int i=0; i <7; i++){
        System.out.println("The high temperature on " + day[i]+ " was "+ temp[i]);
        }
    }
}

Solution

Arrays begin at zero Therefore, specify your first value as day [1] = ("Monday"); Yes, it should be day [0] = ("Monday"); Hope to help
