| 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. |
