Click the “step over” button.
Notice that the condition in line 65 was evaluated and the current statement is now line 68. This means that the

Click the “step over” button.
Again the condition was false, and processing proceeded to the

7.
Click the “step over” button.
This time the condition is true, so the taxAmount calculation should be performed. Once again, this is exactly

8.
Click the “step over” button.
The calculation is performed (as expected) but the value (489.50) is incorrect (see Figure
