Local Variable Property Sheet
See Also
You can view the properties for a variable in the current debugging session
by right-clicking the variable name in the Local Variable window and choosing
Properties. A variable has the following properties:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
