Eclipse Debugging

Note: I don’t use Eclipse, but might as well take notes.

• Double-click on a line to insert a breakpoint
• Click the debug icon to start the debugger
  • You will be prompted on whether you want to switch to the debugger perspective.

Universal Terms

• Step into goes into the method and executes each piece step-by-step.
• Step over executes the method as one step.
• Step return runs the remainder of the current method as one step.
• Resume leaves the debugger.
• Line breakpoint temporarily pauses execution at this line.

Randomly Generating Integers in a Range

// Random number between 1 and MAX
Random rand = new Random();
int x = rand.nextInt(MAX) + 1;

// Random number between MIN and MAX
Random rand = new Random();
int x = **rand**.nextInt(MAX-MIN+1) + MIN;
