Description
Operator (arithmetic); a pre-increment and post-increment unary operator that adds 1 to
expression. The expression can be a variable, element in an array, or property of an object.
The pre-increment form of the operator (
++expression) adds 1 to expression and returns
the result as a number. The post-increment form of the operator (
expression++) adds 1 to
expression and returns the initial value of expression (the value before the addition).
