You can view the properties for a variable in the current debugging session by
right-clicking the variable name in the Debugger window
and choosing Properties. A variable
has the following properties:
- First Index.
For array objects only. The index of the first array element to display in the debugger.
- Maximum Length.
For array objects only. The maximum number of array elements to display.
For example, if you have an array with 100 elements and
you want to look at elements 30 through 50, you would set First Index
to 30 and the Maximum Length to 20.
- Display As.
For objects of type integer only. Determines how the value of the selected integer is shown. The choices are decimal, hexadecimal, octal, and binary.
- Modifiers.
The standard Java language modifiers for the variable.
Modifiers are standard keywords that alter the accessibility, behavior, or
semantics of a field. See Modifiers
Property Editor for more information.
- Name of Variable.
The name by which the program refers to the variable's value.
- Type.
The type of the values that the variable can contain.
- Value.
The current value of the variable.
In some cases, the Java 2 debugger assigns a pound sign (#) and a number as the variable's value. This number is a unique identifier of the given instance. You can use this identifier to determine if a variable points to the same or to a different instance. You cannot edit this value.
