Can someone help me debug this code?

[faftek]

I'm currently working on a program, and I've got this 95%+ done just for some reason when there are randomly generated 2D arrays an index out of bounds exception is returned. If there is no index out of bounds error then this code works perfectly. I am appreciative to any advice and/or help I recieve and thanks in advance (sorry if it's kinda shit as of now I tend to make the code work then go back and make it pretty)

 

**forgot to mention in the header this is in java

Do you know that line of code is causing the exception or event the array that is causing the out of bounds error? It looks like there is a lot of stuff going on and just a quick read, I can't really tell what is going on. Little tip if you don't know where the exception is going on, a decent debug method is called probing. All it is, is putting println statements in your code to see how far the code makes it before breaking or even printing out array values to make sure that they are correct.

I actually figured out my error was due to a logic bug the X and Y were supposed to be switched. fixed that and switched one of the test method and all works now
