An incrementer is an operator used to increase the value of a variable by one. It's commonly used in loops and counting scenarios.
Imagine you are climbing stairs. Each time you take one step up, you use an incrementer to keep track of how many steps you've climbed so far.
Decrementer: Similar to an incrementer, a decrementer decreases the value of a variable by one.
Loop Counter: A loop counter keeps track of the number of iterations performed in a loop.
Post-increment vs Pre-increment: These are different ways to use an incrementer where post-increment increases the value after using it while pre-increment increases it before using it.
