public class ArrayIndexOutOfBounds {
   public static void main(String args[]) {
      try {
         int[] a = new int[]{1,2,3,4,5};
         int x = 6;
         a[10] = x;
      } catch(ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException ex) {
         System.out.println("Array size is restricted to 5 elements only");
      }
   }
}
