Visual C++

I discovered something at work involving C++, something that I thought wow that is cool but I am sure most C++ programmer already knew.

If you go to the watch window in visual studio while debugging you can type in expressions and have them evaluated. This part is not new to me, the new to me part is you can actually call functions as well. That is pretty cool for C++.  The only question is why didn't I discover this sometime ago as the feature has apparently  been in there for years...

Of course it is not on the same planet compare with scheme or haskell but I am going to find it quite useful.
