I see. Thank you for letting know about this.
I can see that, but when you know that you are dealing with an
integer, isn't "+ 1" a more common and readable notation?
Hmm.. I believe that i++ is muuuch common used than i += 1 ;-)
Personally I totally agree with almost all reasons why we should drop these
++/--, but until this moment I was not agree that operator(not expression)
i++ (i.e. operator to increase i to 1 that do not return any value)
produces any problem in code. And it is so common in programming word, in
c/c++ which we will(!) use with our Swift code often, so it can't produce
any misunderstanding like "what does this "i++" line do??"
(again, just operator, like: if something { someInt++ } )
But now, I was pointed that someInt += 1 is better because of this "=" char
in operator i.e. we clearly say that we will assign the value to variable,
mutate it.
And I think this makes the language better, so right now I fully support
the decision to remove ++/--
So.. Thank you for your time and your replies :-)
Vladimir.
