debugger for code::blocks is a no-op

This is my second post and i am very new to C++ or any other programming for that matter but i am determined to learn this. Can someone tell me how to use the debugger in code::blocks? i click on the tab and it always fails I have hit help but cant seem to get it working even after following the instructions. I think it would be very helpful to see what is going on line by line and watch as variables change. I
I'm new to programming and using Code::Blocks as well. It took me some time (and countless debugging tutorial videos), to understand how to use it.

Some links I found helpful (it's for C, but you said you're very new, so I guess you're probably doing the same thing):
