Visual Debugging
HI Folks,
I have done some programming in the past, but I'm new to C++. Just starting out. I have typically used visual basic and excel vba. My question is what is the best way to visually walk through a C++ program to debug or visually see whats going on with the different variables? I'm a very visual learner so anytime I can whats going on it helps me. I do have Visual Studio 2017, is that the best option?
Thanks,
John

Visual Studio is probably the best option on Windows and it comes with a very good debugger.
When you have written your code, build in Debug mode and hit F10. This will start the debugger where you can step through each line of code and watch the values of the vars - either hover with the mouse over it or add them to the watch window.
