Is it possible to type in variables in the Xcode debugger to check what they are?

I've done my fair share of searching, but the problem lies in the fact that I don't know all the nomenclature surrounding the debugger, so I'm unsure of what this function is called.

In my programming class, we use Visual Studio. In it's debugger, you can type in a variable name at any point and see what it's value is.

Is there a parallel version of this in Xcode? I can't seem to find it.

Option 1:

Add a breakpoint to the point where you would like to check the value. When it stops there, click on console screen. Type the following:

po yourVariableName

Option 2:

Click on "Show debug Area". Now tap on "Show Variable Area". You can see values on run time for each variable in action.
