Suggestion for the Debugging portion in C++ Fundamentals

#1

I followed the video instruction however there was a problem when talking about and using the Step Over, Step Into, and Step Out function in the debugger. After creating the code with Float, Double, Bool etc. In my opinion, it should be clear that in order for it to function properly you must have a breakpoint enabled. I was totally lost until I saw that mentioned on line somewhere. I could not figure out why it was greyed out and not working.

I am slow I know lol but sometimes having that brief, if x is not working then check y, helps out someone totally new. Just my thoughts but so far I am enjoying it overall.

Hi VapinGamer,

In order to make the Step Over option selectable, you must first set a break point and click Start Debugging option under the Run tab. I was honestly having the same issue as you were and this helped me out tremendously and hope this helps you!

Hi Dretti,

In the future, questions like this would be best in their own thread and not in an unrelated thread that has an old post.

That said, do you have the C++ extension installed in VS Code?
