I'm not a math person and I'm asked to do a certain question such as The integer to variable x equals 1. Write the kine to increment x by 5. That is all gibberish to me and I'm not sure what to do. Im think a "for" procedure and make it go "by 5" but then again, i dont understand math jargon and i could be completely wrong. anyone have some ideas? |

The += operator results in less typing. x := 1 x += 5 It can be referred as an addition assignment operator. |

Yeah, I was going to suggest it, but I'm thinking back to my grade 11 where only 2 students could comprehend +=, or other _= operators. |
