    <p>Ok..so I am doing a program on NLP. It uses function eliminateStopWords(). This function reads from a 2D array "sentTokens" (of detected tokens). In the code below, index i is sentence number, j is for each token in the ith sentence.</p> <p>Now, what my eliminateStopWords() does is this:</p> <ol> <li><p>it reads stop words from a text file and stores them in a TreeSet</p></li> <li><p>reads tokens from sentTokens array and checks them for stop words. If they are collocations, then they should not be checked for stop words, they are just dumped into a finalTokens array. If they are not a collection, then they are individually checked for stop words and are added to finalTokens array only if they are not stop words.</p></li> </ol> <p>The problem comes in the loop of this step 2. Here is some code of it: (I have marked // HERE at the location where the error actually occurs... it's near the end)</p> <pre><code>private void eliminateStopWords() { try { // Loading TreeSet for stopwords from the file. stopWords = new TreeSet&lt;String&gt; (); fin = new File("stopwords.txt"); fScan = new Scanner(fin); while (fScan.hasNextLine()) stopWords.add(fScan.nextLine()); fScan.close(); /* Test code to print all read stopwords iter2 = stopWords.iterator(); while (iter2.hasNext()) System.out.println(iter2.next()); */ int k=0,m=0; // additional indices for finalTokens array System.out.println(NO_OF_SENTENCES); newSentence: for(i=0; i &lt; NO_OF_SENTENCES; i++) { System.out.println("i = " + i); for (j=0; j &lt; sentTokens[i].length; j+=2) { System.out.println("j = " + j); // otherwsise, get two successive tokens String currToken = sentTokens[i][j]; String nextToken = sentTokens[i][j+1]; System.out.println("i = " + i); System.out.println(currToken + " " + nextToken); if ( isCollocation(currToken, nextToken) ) { // if the current and next tokens form a bigram collocation, they are not checked for stop words // but are directly dumped into finalTokens array finalTokens[k][m] = currToken; m++; finalTokens[k][m] = nextToken; m++; } if ( !stopWords.contains(currToken) ) { finalTokens[k][m] = currToken; m++; } if ( !stopWords.contains(nextToken) ) { finalTokens[k][m] = nextToken; m++; } // if current token is the last in the sentence, do not check for collocations, only check for stop words // this is done to avoid ArrayIndexOutOfBounds Exception in sentences with odd number of tokens // HERE System.out.println("i = " + i); if ( j==sentTokens[i].length - 2) { String lastToken = sentTokens [i][++j]; if (!stopWords.contains(lastToken)) { finalTokens[k][m] = lastToken; m++; } // after analyzing last token, move to analyzing the next sentence continue newSentence; } } k++; // next sentence in finalTokens array } // Test code to print finalTokens array for(i=0; i &lt; NO_OF_SENTENCES; i++) { for (j=0; j &lt; finalTokens[i].length; j++) System.out.print( finalTokens[i][j] + " " ); System.out.println(); } } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } </code></pre> <p>I have printed the indices i &amp; j at the entry of their respective for loops...it all works fine for the first iteration of the loop, but when the loop is about to reach its end... I have printed again the value of 'i'. This time it comes out as 14.</p> <ul> <li>it starts the first iteration with 0...</li> <li>does not get manipulated anywhere in the loop... </li> <li>and just by the end of (only) first iteration, it prints the value as 14</li> </ul> <p>I mean this is seriously the WEIRDEST error I have come across ever while working with Java. It throws up an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException just before the final if block. It's like MAGIC. You do nothing on the variable in the code, still the value changes. HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
