The Increment and Decrement Operator

Other mathematical assignment operators include the increment operator (++) and decrement operator (--).

The increment operator will increase the value of the variable by 1. The decrement operator will decrease the value of the variable by 1. For example:

let a = 10;
a++;
console.log(a); // Output: 11

let b = 20;
b--;
console.log(b); // Output: 19

Just like the previous mathematical assignment operators (+=, -=, *=, /=), the variable’s value is updated and assigned as the new value of that variable.

Instructions:

1.Using the increment operator, increase the value of gainedDollar.

2.Using the decrement operator, decrease the value of lostDollar.

Solutions:

let gainedDollar = 3;

let lostDollar = 50;

gainedDollar++;

lostDollar--;
