# Memory pane

The Memory pane displays the memory, in hexadecimal form, associated with the program variables.

Use any of the following methods to display the memory for an expression:

- In the Memory pane, use the Expression list to select a variable name, or just type the name of the variable that you want to display
- Right-click an entry in the Locals pane or the Monitors pane, and select Go to Memory

You can use the lists in the Memory pane to select an expression for which you want to see the memory contents or to specify the display format, byte size, and number of bytes displayed per line.

When you are debugging a program written in C or C++, you can change memory contents. To change the memory contents, complete the following steps:

1. Position the cursor in either the hexadecimal or character representation area.
2. Type the new contents for the memory.
3. Click Save to write the new contents into the active program memory. Click Cancel to make no changes to the current memory contents.

Right-click anywhere in the Memory pane to select any of the available options. The options for the Memory pane are also available from the context menu and the menu bar. Menu options that have an icon appear on the tool bar.
