How can I temporarily halt program execution using a bool in C# and resume it when the bool is true?

How do you "pause" a program (like a breakpoint) while a bool (codepause) is false, then when codepause is true the program "resumes" (as if you pressed continue while debugging in VS)?

I haven't tried anything yet as I don't know what to do.

you can use a boolean variable in combination with a loop to temporarily halt program execution until the boolean condition is true.

Here's an example:

 using System;
 class Program
{
static bool isPaused = true;

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Press 'p' to pause and 'r' to resume.");
    Console.WriteLine("Enter 'q' to quit the program.");

    // Start a separate thread to monitor the pause/resume input
    // while the main thread continues executing.
    var inputThread = new System.Threading.Thread(ReadInput);
    inputThread.Start();

    // Main program loop
    while (true)
    {
        // Check if the program is paused
        while (isPaused)
        {
            // Wait for a short duration before checking again
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100);
        }

        // Resume program execution
        Console.WriteLine("Program resumed");
        
        // Perform your program logic here

        // Exit the program if 'q' is entered
        if (Console.ReadKey().KeyChar == 'q')
            break;
    }

    // Stop the input thread before exiting
    inputThread.Join();
}

static void ReadInput()
{
    while (true)
    {
        // Read user input
        var key = Console.ReadKey().KeyChar;

        // Pause the program if 'p' is entered
        if (key == 'p')
        {
            isPaused = true;
            Console.WriteLine("Program paused");
        }

        // Resume the program if 'r' is entered
        if (key == 'r')
        {
            isPaused = false;
            Console.WriteLine("Program resumed");
        }

        // Quit the program if 'q' is entered
        if (key == 'q')
            break;
    }
}
 }
