Hi,

Some techniques used in debugging -

- Define break-points at statements you want the execution to pause so that you can analyse the status till the point of execution.

- Define watch-points for variables to keep a watch on their changing values. You can also define watch-points to keep a watch on a variable for some specific value too not just any value.

- Use Step, Step into, Step Over, Execute functions according to your need.

Step ( F5 ) - To execute program line by line.

Step into ( F6) - To get inside the execution of a loop, function or method call etc.

Step Over (F7) - Execute a statement like loop , function calls etc like a single statement and dont get inside the internal processing.

Execute (F8) - Execute the program until next break point or watch point is met.

Thank You.
