Certain incremental and decrement statements, such as the following, are so commonly used in C, especially when working with loops, that there is even a shorthand for the shorthand!
i += 1;i -= 1;Because of their ubiquitousness, there is yet another shorthand notation just for these operations of adding one to or subtracting one from a variable!
In the following video, we’ll take a look at the shorthand notation that shortens the already short compound assignment operators
