a colored square, can be opened and closed by clicking the “handle” in front of the square object.<br />
Primitives, like the integer pages, are represented by colored triangles. In Figure 51, hemingway has<br />
been opened to show the author, title, and pages fields. Each of the String instances (e.g., author) can<br />
be opened to view the individual characters. Notice that all the fields in hemingway are green, which<br />
indicates they were declared in the class Book.<br />
When an array is opened in the debugger, only the first ten elements (indexed 0 to 9) are displayed. To<br />
see other elements, left-click the array to select it, then click one more time. Note, this is not a doubleclick,<br />
but rather two single clicks. The first time you do this there may be a short delay, but a slider bar<br />
will popup that allows you to display a range of any ten items.<br />
After executing the next statement, Figure 52 shows an instance of the Fiction class called clancy that<br />
