There is a menu option: Debug - Evaluate Expression...

And also a shortcut: Ctrl+F9 (in Windows)

You can see an explanation at How to Evaluate Code

Been coding 30 years I guess. Just love to code. I run the AgileVentures charity where we get groups of volunteer coders together from around the world to form agile online teams to provide solutions for other charities and nonprofits around the world.

does netbeans have something like Eclipse Debug display view?

I love the interactive window for trying out Java code in Eclipse debug mode, and it's mentioned in this post:

Is there any Python-like interactive console for Java?

Just wondering if I can get the same in netbeans

good to know thanks - yes, I've been debugging in netbeans and that's all well and good, but I'd love to be able to play with code then the debugger is paused, and do more than just inspect variables. I guess I'm spoiled by being able to do that in Eclipse, and in the basic ruby debugger and in Chrome console after having set a JavaScript breakpoint ...

In Netbeans 8.2 (I can't speak to other versions) the mapping is Ctrl+F9 and is found under the "Debug" menu.
