| The standard debugger with Unix or Cygwin is gdb (GNU debugger) however it can be a bit daunting. There are some posts on this forum showing how to use it, you could search for those.
If you are using Microsoft Visual C++ it has a nice debugger that lets you set breakpoints and evaluate variables.
Finally, a simple debug technique that often works is to simply put "printf"s inside your code while you are testing it.
eg.
printf ("Variable A is now %i\n", A);
