Exception in CoinChangeProblem code


import java.io.*;

public class CoinChangeProblem {

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    int[] arr;
    arr = new int[]{1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, 1000};
    int[] arr2;
    arr2 = new int[]{-1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1};
    int max_coin = 0, due, i = 0, j = 0;
    BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    System.out.print("\n\n\tEnter the amount of currency due");
    due = Integer.parseInt(stdin.readLine());
    while (due != 0) {
        for (j = 0; due > arr[j] && j < 9; )
            max_coin = arr[j++];
        j = 0;
        arr2[i] = max_coin;
        due = due - max_coin;
        i += 1;
    }
    i = 0;
    for (int k = 0; arr2[k] != -1; k++) {
        System.out.print(" " + arr2[k]);
    }
}
}

The compiler is throwing ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException at line 9 and 23.If you have got a solution please help!


Solution

  • Last iteration of your for loop makes arr2[i] = max_coin access arr2[9] but your array's last index is 8.
