25 Increment, Decrement, Exponentiation

MDN: Expressions and Operators: Exponentiation

The Increment (++), Decrement (– –), and Exponentiation (**) operators are useful for basic operations without needing a new variable or assignment:

var pitch = 60;
pitch = pitch + 1; // 61
pitch++ // increment to 61 
pitch-- // decrement to 60
pitch** // exponent to 3600
