Some suggested you can “Display view” to execute code.

EARLIER ANSWER (accepted but not correct) :

The interactive console allows you to execute some extra code, while debugging, when stopped at via a `breakpoint`.

This is a really beneficial feature when you are debugging and suddenly want to change the value of variable, execute a sysout or some utility function.
