Increment and Decrement Operator

You can also use $\lstinline{++}$ and $\lstinline{--}$ operator as both prefix and postfix in Java. The ++ operator increases value by 1 and $\lstinline{--}$ operator decreases the value by 1.


\begin{lstlisting} int myInt = 5; ++myInt // myInt becomes 6 myInt++ // myInt becomes 7 --myInt // myInt becomes 6 myInt-- // myInt becomes 5 \end{lstlisting}
