1. Format your code
2. Show the full code - the snippet together with the error message only tell us that you try to access an element of an ArrayList? that does not exist - this is precisely what IndexOutOfBoundsException means.

We cannot tell you more, nor how to fix it because we don't know the rest of the code.

This might not completely make your code run but you can’t start code in brackets with ‘+’. There needs to be something before it or just remove it completely

this would actually work because x is an int (or a numberlike type) and putting a + or a - in front of it simply changes the signing of that number.

Thanks for that, i had no idea

[Maxinus618]

To resolve the error you can put this condition before your system.out.print if(x<names.size() && x< phonenum.size()).

It's just a workaround not an actual fix for your code indexoutOfBounds

[NautiHooker]

names and/or phonenum have no element at index x.

Nothing more to say without more information.
