Understanding Projects
• In this course, a Project or Solution is a set of files that will compile into a single executable (.exe) file.
• A project can contain multiple files compiled together. In this course, every project will contain only one .c file (“ex.c”).
• Projects are mandatory even when they contain only one file.

Basic Debugging
• Step Over (F10) – execute a line
• Step Into (F11) – enter a function
• Step Out (Shift-F11) – exit a function
• Continue (Start Debugging) – F5
Debugging Over the Edge
• The compiler warns you when you try to debug “after the end of the program”.
• Just press OK and F5 to finish the run.
Advanced Debugging
• Add/Remove Break Point – F9
• Edit & Continue – allows modification while the program is running.
Watches
• Manual
• Value Modification
• Locals
Opening Existing Solutions
• We open solutions (“foo.sln”) and not the C files directly.
• Either double-click from Explorer or FileOpenProject/Solution
A Ready Made Solution

• Copy into a fresh folder
• Rename all “template” to whatever you want:– In File Names– In File Contents
