How to add a breakpoint in Xcode?

Question

I wrote my first program, Hello World Objective C. How do I add a breakpoint and test a variable? I see the Breakpoint button, but cannot insert it.

Answer 2

You do not need to right-click or something like that. To enable breakpoints in your code, all you have to do is click on a specific line number. You will get a breakpoint symbol in your code there.

You can add multiple breakpoints to your code. The breakpoints button on top is used to turn on all breakpoints (during debugging) or off (if necessary).

I will talk about the breakpoints section of my blog soon ( http://techtalktone.wordpress.com ).
