    notice that you just output only ONE element in your original code. after the last loop, the counter "i" had the value of the last iteration, so it output a[2] only.
    You have to loop through the entire array to display all its elements, hence for loop i added.

    The problem with your code is that it is hardcoded for an array with exactly 5 elements.
    Try changing your code to take an array of any length.
