PHP Development Techdegree Graduate 48,637 PointsThere's no difference if just incrementing by 1 other than it takes 1 less character to type i++
than i+=1
. Of course this isn't the case when incrementing by any other number: You cannot increment by any other number with i++
, you have to use i+=n
.
