## Stepping Over a Statement

Use the Step Over command () to execute the current statement and advance to the next statement in the source code. If the current statement is a routine call, program execution continues until reaching one of these points:

- the end of the called routine
- a breakpoint
- a watchpoint
- an eventpoint that stops execution

#### Stepping Over a Routine

- Click the Step Over button () in the Debug view

> or

- Right-click the thread in the Debug view and select Step Over from the Debug contextual menu

or

- Select Run > Step Over from the menu bar

The current statement or routine executes, then program execution stops.

For more information on debugging, see C/C++ Development User Guide > Tasks > Running and debugging projects > Debugging.
