|  | title: Decrement a Number with JavaScript | ||
|  | --- | ||
|  | You can easily decrement or decrease a variable by `1` with the `--` operator. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |     i--; | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | is the equivalent of | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |     i = i - 1; | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | **Note:** The entire line becomes `i--;`, eliminating the need for the equal sign. |
