Q:

OutOfBoundsException Troubles, Java

I'm getting the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 86, Size: 86
at java.util.ArrayList.rangeCheck(ArrayList.java:604)
at java.util.ArrayList.get(ArrayList.java:382)
at Netbooks.Recommendations.getDotProduct(Recommendations.java:72)
at Netbooks.TestRecomendations.main(TestRecomendations.java:11)
Java Result: 1

I've looked the code over many times and I can't seem to find where I going over the index of the arraylist...
Here is the code for the dotProduct ArrayList:
public List<Integer> getDotProduct() throws IOException {
    Books book = new Books();
    Ratings cust = new Ratings();
    PureRatings pureRatings = new PureRatings();

    List<String> bookList = book.readBooks();
    List<String> customerList = cust.readCustomers();
    List<List<Integer>> pureRatingsList = pureRatings.parseRatingsFile();
    List<Integer> dotProduct = new ArrayList<Integer>();
    int index = getCustIndex();

    if (index == -1) {
        return dotProduct;
    }

    for (int i = 0; i < customerList.size(); i++) {
        int sum = 0;

        for (int j = 0; j < bookList.size(); i++) {
            if (i == index) {
                dotProduct.add(0);
            } else { //Next line is line 72.
                sum = sum + (pureRatingsList.get(index).get(j)) * (pureRatingsList.get(i).get(j)); //Line 72.
            }
        }
        dotProduct.add(sum);
    }

    return dotProduct;
}

And my main method (in another class) just in case:
public class TestRecomendations {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        Recommendations recomm = new Recommendations();

        List<Integer> dotProduct = recomm.getDotProduct();//Line 11.

        for (int i = 0; i < dotProduct.size(); i++) {
            System.out.println(dotProduct.get(i));
        }
    }
}

It should just print out the elements of the dotProduct ArrayList...
I don't understand how line 72 is causing a problem since I should be able to add an unlimited number of items to the ArrayList....Any help would be appreciated.

A:

The issue in line 72 is with a get(), not with an add(). 
I suspect this could be the root cause of the problem:
for (int i = 0; i < customerList.size(); i++) {
    int sum = 0;

    for (int j = 0; j < bookList.size(); i++) {  
        if (i == index) {
            dotProduct.add(0);
        } else { //Next line is line 72.
            sum = sum + (pureRatingsList.get(index).get(j)) * (pureRatingsList.get(i).get(j)); //Line 72.
        }
    }
    dotProduct.add(sum);
}

In the second for loop, you're incrementing i and not j. That will probably result in you using a value for i in the line 
sum = sum + (pureRatingsList.get(index).get(j)) 
     * (pureRatingsList.get(i).get(j));

larger than the size of pureRatingsList, resulting in the exception you're seeing.
