I am trying to copy all the elements of the allSalaries array, EXCEPT the first

Question

I am trying to copy all the elements of the allSalaries array, EXCEPT the first two elements, to the workerSalary array. I added a print function to print the new array to ensure my array copied correctly. However, when I print I see the first two elements of the array are 0.0. I need the new array to start with 25000.0 and so on. So my current output is:
0.0
0.0
25000.0
18000.0
30000.0
9000.0
12000.0

It needs to be:
25000.0
18000.0
30000.0
9000.0
12000.0

There is probably an issue with my loop, but I am done scratching my head. Thanks!

Here is my code:
public class SalaryCopy
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
double [] allSalaries = {100000.0, 110000.0, 25000.0, 18000.0,
30000.0, 9000.0, 12000.0};
double [] workerSalaries = new double[allSalaries.length];

for (int i=2; i < allSalaries.length; i++)
{
workerSalaries[i] = allSalaries[i];
}

for (int i=0; i < workerSalaries.length; i++)
{
System.out.println(workerSalaries[i]);
}
}//end printSalary
}//end SalaryCopy class

Explanation / Answer

please rate-thanks

public class SalaryCopy
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
double [] allSalaries = {100000.0, 110000.0, 25000.0, 18000.0,
30000.0, 9000.0, 12000.0};
double [] workerSalaries = new double[allSalaries.length-2]; /*your workers salaries is actually 2 less then your allsalaries/*

for (int i=0; i < allSalaries.length-2; i++) //don't copy the last 2
{
workerSalaries[i] = allSalaries[i+2 ];   //move everything up 2
}

for (int i=0; i < workerSalaries.length; i++)
{
System.out.println(workerSalaries[i]);
}
}//end printSalary
}

//end SalaryCopy class
