Hi,

I’ve been using PyCharm, and I am unable to debug like Mr. Mosh has done using VSCode. When I attempt to debug on PyCharm, it keeps saying “Variables are not available”.

Hope someone can help!

Did you set the **break point**? on the left, where are the numbers of your lines, you can click just next to it and will get a **RED DOT** (like you see on the picture below).  
**Do not set it** on the empty line, or a line in which you declare a function or a class and it should work 🙂 Try it.
