297 PointsWhy is xcode out outputting (lldb) to the console instead of the text I'm trying to pass through the println() function?
My first time using xcode, I'm following these tutorials to a T and it's not working well for me. Just like the question states. Instead of outputting text to the console through the println function it just outputs "(lldb)" and sometimes xcode will freeze, shut down, or the memory will shoot way up :/
Uploaded a video to show my problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbZewws4KYo

7,810 PointsThat's normal. You aren't getting any output to the console because your breakpoint is stopping the program right before the println statement executes. If you click on step over or step into (on the bottom bar/debug area) you should get your output :)
Andres Oliva
7,810 PointsOh, sorry.
At line 24 you should see a blue-like pointer. That's a breakpoint. If you click it you can disable it. Your program should run just fine

297 PointsBro, look at the video I uploaded and tell me where the blue-like pointer is on line 24. There isn't one.
Andres Oliva
7,810 PointsYes there is, it is on the left bar, where all the line numbers are

297 PointsAll I see is a grey circle, when I specifically right click on the line number a blue "pointer" appears and it gives me the option to edit the "breakpoint" and when I select "ignore" one time, it doesn't ignore anything and the program doesn't run fine, it just continues to do what it's been doing...

7,810 PointsIf you watch your video you'll see that there is clearly a breakpoint at line 24. Just disable it or right click it and delete it. Your program runs fine, it's just that it is stopping right before it executes the print statement

7,810 PointsStep into and all that stuff it's in the debug area. The debug area is that bottom bar that pops up when the console says (lldb). The step into, over and all those buttons are in the bar on top of that area. They look like play/play-pause buttons. They are useful for executing your code step by step.
