    You can do so by either taking the user input –> i (that’s inefficient) or else you can change i while debugging in vs code

    But incase you only want to check when i is k(some constant) without skipping the iterations below it(when i<k), you can use if(i>=k){code}

    Another option is a conditional breakpoint. Its condition can be when i has a specific value.

    The big advantage is: you don’t need to recompile your code.

    The universal quick & dirty solution no matter debugger is to modify the code. For example:

    if(i==0)
{
  volatile int x = 0; // set breakpoint here
}

    It’s also good practice to surround such "debug only" code with a so-called "compiler switch": #ifdef DEBUG_MODE ... #endif. So that you don’t forget to remove the code and it makes it to release build by accident (very common problem).
