exception: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

This error usually happens when the you're trying to read an array that
exceeds the maximum number of elements in it.
For example, if you have array A[] of 10 elements, the legal indexing should
be
A[0] <--- note that the index number starts from 0 for the first element
A[1]
A[2]
......
A[9] <--- note that the 10th element is is assigned with index number 9

Since you did not provide any codes, and you mentioned that it happens
randomly, I assume a few things.

1. Your program receives an unspecified number of input from the user
2. You store the input in an array
3. You tried to retrieve the stored input using loops

If the assumption above is correct, you may need to re-look at the counter
variable that you used in the loop.

Hope this helps.
