Set the breakpoint in any of the following ways:

press the F9 key.
A new breakpoint is displayed as a red marker in the left pane of the Execution window,
the Disassembly window, or the Source File window.
In a line with several statements you can set a breakpoint on an individual statement, as
demonstrated in the following example:
int main()
{
hello(); world();
.

return 0;
}
If you position the cursor on the word world and click the Toggle breakpoint button,
hello() is executed, and execution halts before world() is executed.
