Breakpoints are denoted by a red circle in the gray
area between the code and the line numbers. To add a breakpoint:
To remove a breakpoint: Running your program with
breakpoints: This message is an indication that
the breakpoint has been reached. ROBOTC highlights the line of the breakpoint
that was reached, allowing you to see which breakpoint the program execution
stopped at (assuming you have multiple breakpoints).
Breakpoints are a
useful
debugging
tool in ROBOTC. Breakpoints can be placed
on any line of code and tell the controller to stop executing the
program when that line is reached. When a breakpoint is reached, the ROBOTC debugger informs
the programmer, who can then check the status of the robot, the code editor,
and debugger windows. ROBOTC supports multiple break points in any given
program.
Right-click on the line number where you wish
to add a break point and a context menu will appear. Select "Insert
Breakpoint" to place a breakpoint at that line.

When a breakpoint is reached in a program
while the debugger window is open, you will see the following message from
ROBOTC:
