Debug "Variable" pane?

[BERNARD MICHAUD]

What is the function of the "Variable" pane when running "Debug".
There never seems to be any results showing in that window.
Just wondering what the purpose of that window really is.

It would be great if it showed the resulting value of the variables as
the program executes in the upper window.

Of course as recent member, I could be missing something.

On the left column, click a cell and type in a variable name. Then you can see its contents as you step through a program.

Thanks Han

I was hoping that the variables values would show automatically as they were executed, but I realize that perhaps this is not needed. But I think as you say only type in the variable of immediate interest.

Thanks again

Hello,

That is correct, just type the names of the variables that you want.
Note that you can also change the variable values!
