Increment and decrement operator in VB.NET.

This blog defines the Increment and decrement operator in VB.NET.

VB.NET does not support like this ++ and --

VB.NET replaces the i++ to i=+1

VB.NET replaces the i++ to i=-1

For example

Module Module1

Sub Main()

Dim i As Integer

i = 5

Dim j As Integer

i = i + 1

Console.WriteLine(i)

i = i - 1

Console.WriteLine(i)

End Sub

End Module

OUTPUT

The output will be 6,5.

C# supports like this ++ and --

The ++ and the –- are the increment and decrement operators.

Increment(++) operator

The increment operator increases its operand by one.

For example

y=y+1

can be rewritten like this by use for the increment operator.

y++

Decrement(--) operator

The decrement operator decreases its operand by one.

For example

y=y-1

can be rewritten like this by use for the increment operator.

y--

For example

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication12

{

class Program

{

static void Main(string[] args)

{

int i = 5;

i++;

Console.WriteLine(i);

i--;

Console.WriteLine(i);

}

OUTPUT

The output will be 6,5.
