Step through the program

Last modified: 11 February 2024

Stepping is the process of controlling step-by-step execution of the program.

IntelliJ IDEA provides a set of stepping actions, which are used depending on your strategy (for example, whether you need to go directly to the next line or enter the methods invoked on your way there).

The stepping buttons are located on the Debug window toolbar.
