How to monitor variables in Eclipse?

In Eclipse, there are several ways to monitor variables.

1. Set breakpoints: in your code, you can set breakpoints where the program will pause so you can view the values of variables. You can set a breakpoint by right-clicking on the line number and selecting “Toggle Breakpoint,” or by using the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+B.
2. Utilize the Expressions view to dynamically monitor and evaluate expressions during program execution. Open the Expressions view by selecting “Window” > “Show View” > “Other…” > “Debug” > “Expressions” from the menu bar. Then, right-click in the Expressions view and choose “Add Watch Expression” to add variables to monitor.
3. Utilize the Variables view: The Variables view shows all variables of the current running program. You can open the Variables view by selecting “Window” > “Show View” > “Other…” > “Debug” > “Variables” from the menu bar, and then locating the variable you want to monitor in the Variables view.
4. Utilize the Display view: The Display view allows you to execute and evaluate any Java expression during the debugging process. To open the Display view, navigate to “Window” in the menu bar, then select “Show View” > “Other…” > “Debug” > “Display”. Input the expression of the variable you want to monitor in the Display view and press Enter to execute it.

These methods can assist developers in easily monitoring variable values during the debugging process, helping to analyze and solve issues.
