Hi,
I don't see what you mean saying "the result of a 'if' sentence".

For your example, this code is useless, the 'break' will put you out of the 'if' sequence.

Could you be more accurate about what you expect to do?

Maybe you should have a look at the Breakpoint?

Sorry for my bad explanation.

I want see if a condition sentence is true or false (in the debugger at run time, obviously!).
New example:

int i;
cin << i;
if(i == 5) // I want see if this condition return true or false at runtime.
{
    cout << "This is the number secret!! :)"
}
else
{
    cout << "Sorry, try again! :("
}

You may add some BreakPoint into your then and else statement.
You just have to right click on the column where markers are shown and use 'Toggle Breakpoint'. There will be a blue point facing the line.
Then, you run a debug, and the execution will normally stop when it reaches the line containing the breakpoint.
In the debug view, you could see all the environment there is during the execution.

Hope it helps,
Fabien

So you want a conditional breakpoint? Set a breakpoint and then open the context menu of the breakpoint (right click on the blue circle) and choose "Breakpoint properties..."
