In order to print out C, shouldn't it be (myNames[3]) and not (myNames[2])?

Question

public class Program {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[ ] myNames = { "A", "B", "C", "D"};
System.out.println(myNames[2]);
}
}

Answer 1

no because arrays are zero-indexed. meaning the first element in the array starts at 0. myNames[0] is A, myNames[1] is B, myNames[2] is C, myNames[3] is D. there is no myNames[4]

Answer 2

just to add to Edwards answer, if you tried to reference the fourth element like so, myNames[4] Java will throw you an out of bounds exception since arrays are 0 indexed so for for items, they're be indexed 0,1,2&3. please note that arrays are unchecked therefore trying to reference an element that is out of bounds will result in an exception.

Answer 3

no
because array index start from zero
your index is 0,1,2,3
value is A,B,C,D
then your code is right and print C
