A breakpoint tells the debugger that an application should pause execution at a certain point. When a break occurs, your program is said to be in a break state.
Entering a break state does not terminate or end the execution of your program. Execution can be resumed (continued) at any time.
During the break, you can:
- Examine the positions and states of functions, variables, and objects to look for bugs.
- Modify the program.
- Change the value of a variable.
- Move the execution point, which changes the statement that is executed when execution resumes.
