BigInteger::Increment Operator
Increments a BigInteger value by 1.
Assembly: System.Numerics (in System.Numerics.dll)
Parameters
- value
- Type: System.Numerics::BigInteger
The value to increment.
The Increment method defines the increment operation for BigInteger values. It enables code such as the following:
BigInteger number = 93843112;
Console.WriteLine(++number); // Displays 93843113
Some languages (such as Visual Basic) that lack an increment operator or do not support operator overloading can call the Increment method directly, as the following example shows.
Dim number As BigInteger = 93843112 Console.WriteLine(BigInteger.op_Increment(number)) ' Displays 93843113
Because BigInteger objects are immutable, the Increment operator creates a new BigInteger object whose value is one more than the BigInteger object represented by value. Therefore, repeated calls to Increment may be expensive.
