Decrement Operator

• If we want to subtract one from a variable, we can say:

• count = count - 1;

• Programs can often contain statements that decrement variables, so to save on typing, C provides these shortcuts :

• count--; OR --count;

• They do the same thing. Either of these statements change the value of count by subtracting one from it.
