Increment

See Also: Decrement, Integer, Repeat, While

Purpose

To increase the value of an integer variable by one.

Syntax

Increment {variable}

Where {variable} is an integer variable.

What It Does

Increment adds one to the value of {variable}.

Increment is generally useful for maintaining ascending counters, especially those which control While... Loop, Repeat... Until, and similar structured loops.

Example

The example below displays ten lines of text to the screen, showing the value of iCounter each time the loop iterates.

Integer iCounter
Move 0 to iCounter
Repeat
    Showln "The value of iCounter is " iCounter
    Increment iCounter
Until (iCounter >= 10)
