(intArr.length) is not index of last element, but it is size of array(which is 1 more than index of last element of array)so it is giving IndexOutOfBound exception. You can substract 1 from size of array, to get index of last element. int x=intArr.length-1;

The length of your array is 5. The issue is that array[5] doesn't exist : the last element is at array[4], because index in arrays starts at 0. So write : int x = array.length ; array[x - 1] = 5 ;
