The Immediate Window is an immensely useful tool for debugging applications. It can be used to execute code statements that are valid in the context of a break point and inspect values. I also use it to type code snippets to learn language features.

The Immediate window is used to debug and evaluate expressions, execute statements, print variable values, and so forth. It allows you to enter expressions to be evaluated or executed by the development language during debugging.

To display Immediate Window, choose Debug >Windows >Immediate or press Ctrl-Alt-I

Here is an example with Immediate Window:

int Sum(int x, int y) { return (x + y);}
void main(){
int a, b, c;
a = 5;
b = 7;
c = Sum(a, b);
char temp = getchar();}

add breakpoint
