In this lesson from Codecademy's JavaScript section we take a look at the lesson, "The Increment and Decrement Operator". In this lesson we learn new mathematical assignment operators for incrementing our variables by one and decrementing our variables by one. These allow us to quickly add 1 to a variable, or to quickly subtract 1 to a variable. This is just another way to shorthand adding or subtracting 1 to a variable. For example, instead of having to add 1 to a variable this way x = x + 1, we are able to quickly do the same thing by using x++ or for subtracting 1 from a variable x-- will also work the same way! Understanding increment and decrement mathematical operators will help minimize your code and show potential employers that you know your stuff when it comes to JavaScript and any other type of programming in 2022 and beyond!
