BigInteger::Decrement Operator
Visual Studio 2010
Decrements a BigInteger value by 1.
Assembly: System.Numerics (in System.Numerics.dll)
Parameters
- value
- Type: System.Numerics::BigInteger
The value to decrement.
The Decrement method defines the decrement operation for BigInteger values. It enables code such as the following:
BigInteger number = 93843112;
Console.WriteLine(--number); // Displays 93843111
Languages that do not support custom operators can call the Subtract method instead. For example:
Because BigInteger objects are immutable, the Decrement operator creates a new BigInteger object whose value is one less than the BigInteger object represented by value. This means that repeated calls to Decrement may be expensive.
