I am writing a program to calculate GPA and print a transcript. I am having some issues with the methods I have created to get the sum of a semesters gpa. Here's relevant code:
double sumGP;
ArrayList<Double> semesterGPs = new ArrayList<Double>();
public void getGPs(double aGP) {
semesterGPs.add(aGP);
}
public double getTotalGP() {
for(int i = 0; i <= this.semesterGPs.size(); i++)
sumGP = sumGP + this.semesterGPs.get(i);
return sumGP;
Here is those blocks of code are used in the main method, as well as relevant main method code:
Scanner letterGrade = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter the letter grade recieved if the course is completed, otherwise enter null: ");
aLetterGrade = letterGrade.next();
if ((aLetterGrade.contentEquals("a")) || (aLetterGrade.contentEquals("A"))) {
double aGPRecieved = 4.0;
//gradePoints.add(aGPRecieved);
aSemesterGrade.getGPs(aGPRecieved);
aTotals.getGPs(aGPRecieved);
System.out.println(aGPRecieved);
}
aSemesterGrade.getTotalGP();
My for loop keeps throwing an index out of bounds error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index 1 out of bounds for length 1

I have already printed out the info from the ArrayList "semesterGPs", so I know the method is actually adding the info to the list, even two or three entries. I am very confused on why the index is out of bounds.
The length of an array is one greater than the final index (indices start at 0)
public double getTotalGP() {
for(int i = 0; i < this.semesterGPs.size(); i++)
sumGP = sumGP + this.semesterGPs.get(i);
return sumGP;
If an array is of N
length, array[N]
will trigger an index out of bounds error.
