breakpoints

Code execution halts

Breakpoints are markers set in code that tell a debugger to pause execution at that line, letting programmers inspect variables and trace problems: I set a breakpoint where the loop starts.

In responsive web design, breakpoints are the screen widths where a layout changes to accommodate different devices: The site has breakpoints at 768 and 1024 pixels.
