ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException while printing a 3D array in JAVA

You should always start at index 0, it is the index of the first element of your array:

for(int i=0; i<b1; i++)
{
    for(int j=0; j<b2; j++)
    {
        for(int k=0; k<b3; k++) {
          System.out.print("Enter element->");
          threedarray[i][j][k]=sc.nextInt();
        }
    }
}
for(int i=0; i<b1; i++)
{
    for(int j=0; j<b2; j++)
    {
        for(int k=0; k<b3; k++)
        {
          System.out.print(" "+threedarray[i][j][k]);
        }
    }
}

furthermore make the check with < not <=

With the last loop you access the array element n+1 where n is the size of that array. Thats the reason for the exception.

I think you want j and k in the 2 inside for loops instead of i. Also, arrays in Java start in index 0, so it should look like this:

for(int i=0; i<b1; i++)
{
    for(int j=0; j<b2; j++)
    {
        for(int k=0; k<b3; k++)
        {  
           ...
        }
     }
}

Arrays in Java are zero-based, try to iterate from 0 to b1-1:

for(int i=0; i<b1; i++)
{
    for(int j=0; i<b2; j++)
    {
        for(int k=0; i<b3; k++)
        {
          System.out.print("Enter element->");
          threedarray[i][j][k]=sc.nextInt();
        }
    }
}

[b1][b2][b3]

You create an array using the inputs b1,b2,b3

The array created has length of bx but subscripts from 0 to bx-1. Hence you must loop from 0 to bx-1

Indices start at 0, not 1. Start your three for loops at 0 and iterate to one less than the number provide:

for(int i = 0; i < b1; i++)
{
    for(int j = 0; i < b2; j++)
    {
        for(int k = 0; i < b3; k++)
        {
          System.out.print(" "+threedarray[i][j][k]);
        }
    }
}

Apart from the array index problem (see Stefan Beike's answer), you could you an ArrayList.

This would avoid having to ask the user for the number of elements you want to have in your matrix.

Still if you want to keep primitive arrays, you could use System.arrayCopy to reallocate to a greater size array.

The problem here is that you are starting the loop from 1 till the b1,b2,b3 respectively. Array indexes start from 0 not from 1 and ends at the size of the array - 1. So to fix your code you need to modify the code to be the following:

for(int i = 0; i < b1; i++) {
  for(int j = 0; j < b2; j++) {
    for(int k = 0; k < b3; k++) {
      System.out.print("Enter element->");
      threedarray[i][j][k]=sc.nextInt();
    }
  }
}

More generally if you don't know the length/size of the array you are looping on, you can make the loop more generally to be less than the array length. So it would be i < threedarray.length and j < threedarray[i].length and k < threedarray[i][j].length.

The key idea is that the array indexing starts from 0 and ends at its size/length - 1, so to get the last element you access array[array.length-1] and to access the first element you access array[0]

Hope this answers your question.
