Ok what does this mean

It probably means that some programmer forgot that array elements start with the number 0. That means the highest numbered item in the array is one less than the number of elements in the array. If there are 3 elements in an array (1,2,3) and some programmer tries to pull up array(3) to get the number 3, that's an error. Another way to have the same problem is that one programmer reassigned the array numbers to start with 1 instead of 0. That solves the previously described problem, but creates a new one. The next programmer may not figure that out and might attempt to access array element 0 - array(0), but there is no array element 0.

Sometimes the answer to a question is not helpful.

Array of arrays?
