what is difference between break and watch point

Answer Posted / sudhanshu billore

breakpoint :
The breakpoint "pauses" the program execution once you reached the specified line. From there onwards u can execute line-by-line, check the contents of the registers etc... This is for debugging purposes.
watch point:
the watch point only "pauses" the execution of the program once the variable and value of the watchpoint that you specified matches. Ex. your watchpoint is var1 = 1234. Until var1 is not 1234 your program will continue to execute and will pause only when it reached the 1234 value.
Remember both will "pause" the flow not "stop" bcoz after reaching that point program won't terminate, you can execute further.
