Question

I am currently trying to take the elements of an array and reverse its order in Java. How come I cannot print the elements of the array by counting downwards using a for loop without changing the actual ordering of elements in my array?

private void printArray(int[] array) {
    for (int i = array.length; i >= 0; i--){
        println(array[i]);
    }
}

Array indices start at 0 and end at array.length - 1. Here, you get an ArrayIndexOutOfBOundsException since your first read is past the end of the array (int i = array.length;).

Do:

for (int i = array.length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
    println(array[i]);
