StringIndexOutOfBoundsException

  • StringIndexOutOfBoundsException is triggered when a String method is accessed with an index that is negative, larger than the string's size, or for certain methods, equal to the string's size.

  • This exception is a subclass of IndexOutOfBoundsException and provides constructors to create instances with or without detailed messages, including specifying the illegal index.

  • StringIndexOutOfBoundsException inherits various methods from its parent classes, such as getMessage() for retrieving the error description and printStackTrace() for displaying the error stack trace.

  • The exception is commonly encountered when using methods like charAt() to access characters within a string using an invalid index.

public class StringIndexOutOfBoundsException extends IndexOutOfBoundsException

Thrown by String methods to indicate that an index is either negative or greater than the size of the string. For some methods such as the charAt method, this exception also is thrown when the index is equal to the size of the string.
