  Program Logic: The logic of the program may have caused the variable being watched to change, which is expected behavior when the program runs.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Watchpoint Settings: Check the watchpoint settings to ensure they are correctly configured. You may want to adjust the conditions or the variable being monitored.
  Analyze Program Logic: Investigate the program logic to understand why the variable changed. This may involve stepping through the code to see how the variable is being modified.
  Continue Debugging: If the change is expected and does not indicate an error, you can continue the debugging session. You may choose to ignore the watchpoint or modify it as needed.
  Remove or Disable Watchpoint: If the watchpoint is no longer needed, you can remove or disable it to prevent the message from appearing again.
