INC i

i: avar

The instruction DEC decrements the value of the specified variable, in other
words it subtracts one (1) from it's value.

The instruction INC increments the value of the specified variable, in other
words it adds one (1) to it's value.

These instruction can work with floating-point variables, but are substantially
faster with integers.

Examples:

    x%=4
    y%=7
    DEC x%
    INC y%
    PRINT x%,y%

--> The numbers 3 and 8 appear.

    a|=255
    INC a|
    INC a|
    PRINT a|

--> Results in '1' being displayed, as there is no overflow check.
