Viewing Variables in an Expression List Window
The Expression List window is a powerful tool that can list any variable in your program, along with its current or previous value and other information. This helps you to monitor variables as your program executes. For scalar variables, this is a particularly easy, compact way to view changing values.
1 Create an Expression List
In the Stack Frame pane, right-click on the variable
i, and select
Add to Expression List. Then do the same for the variable

2 View the updated values
Click
Go. When the breakpoint is hit, the value of

Right-click on the column header and select
Type and
