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. |
