How can I make my program run slower?

This may seem a bit odd, but I need my java program to run slower. I am trying to do lots of math and I am trying to watch it as it does all the math, however, it is computing it to fast and I am getting lost. I want to know if I can slow it down while running or make it compute math slower.

Don't know if this will help but I am using jGrasp and a Windows 7 computer.

as others have stated, you can use breakpoints (best solution) but you could also stick a Scanner#nextLine() whenever you want to look over your output before proceeding. Thats what I used to do

Just use a debugger. Place a breakpoint on the line your want it to pause on, and you'll be able to see the entire local state when it pauses.

Alternatively, you could just place a sleep statement inside your loop that's running "too fast".

Don't try to slow down your program. If you just want to see the computer do the math, write your output to a file instead of to the console. Then you can read it later.

If you really do just want to slow down your program, use Thread.sleep(msToSleep);

you may want to use Thread.sleep(4000); it pauses your program for 4 seconds
