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 count. The Expression List Window launches, displaying these two variables and their values.
2. View the updated values
— Click Go. When the breakpoint is hit, the value of i increments to 2, and this changed value is highlighted in yellow in the Expression List window:
— If you continue to hit Go, you can view the value of i increment to 5 before the program completes.
3. Add additional columns to see more data
— Right-click on the column header and select Type and Last Value. These two columns are added to the table:
