I've set a breakpoint next to an if statement but the code runs without
breaking.
Any idea why?

public class ManagerTest
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// construct a Manager object
Manager boss = new Manager("Harry Hacker", 50000, 1989, 10, 1);
boss.setBonus(5000);

Employee[] staff = new Employee[3];

// fill the staff array with Manager and Employee objects

staff[0] = boss;
staff[1] = new Employee("Harry Hacker", 50000, 1989, 10, 1);
staff[2] = new Employee("Tommy Tester", 40000, 1990, 3, 15);

if ((staff[0] instanceof Manager)
&& staff[0].equals(staff[1])) { //***BREAKPOINT HERE***
System.out.println("true");
}
}}

If you already know that, you'll call me an idiot, but, do you actually run the
program through the debugger? (Don't klick the "Run" arrow, but the "Bug" left
to it)

Jon,

I just read your previous post. You can learn a lot by watching Marks video
tutorials, about programming java and also the eclipse debugger. Just have a
break and enjoy.
