Using Variables and Expressions

Use the Variables and Expressions views in the Debugger when you hit a breakpoint in your JavaScript or TypeScript code. Examine the values in your variables and expressions to locate problems with your code. You can also add expressions for experimenting.

This page details debugging in MyEclipse. For details on debugging in CodeMix, see Debugging in CodeMix.
