CO2402: Advanced Programming
with C++ Lecture 2

Introduction to Visual Studio

 What is Visual Studio?

o An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that supports
multiple programming languages, including C++ and C#.

o Provides an extensive help library and documentation accessible
via the Help menu or by pressing F1 on highlighted keywords.



Components of Visual Studio:

 Compiler: A standalone command-line tool managed by the IDE.

 Text Editor: For writing and editing code.

 Debugger: Essential for identifying and fixing run-time errors.



Debugging in Visual Studio

1. Debug Mode

o Activation: Triggered automatically upon encountering a
runtime error or manually via breakpoints.

o Purpose: Allows examination of the program's current state,
including variable values and memory locations.

Example: Hovering over a variable shows its value; complex
variables can be expanded to see their contents.

Breakpoints

 Definition: A marker set by the programmer to pause program
execution at a specific line of code.
