Bicrement
|
|
Definition In programming jargon, bicrement means increase a variable by 2. Code Examples The proper syntax for a bicrement depends on what a particular programming language supports. Some attempts have been made to bicrement by using prefix (++x) and/or postfix (x++) increment operators, but these attempts do not appear to have been successful. Java int x = 0; // x is initialized to a value of 0 x = x + 2; // x is now 2 x += 2; // x is now 4 (compound assignment) Origin As Devilla noted, a Stack Overflow question prompted users to post the definition for a programming term they coined. Two years later, Atwood, who attributed “bicrement” to user evilteach, discussed the appropriateness of the original question’s removal from Stack Overflow, suggesting that the numerous responses were not serious enough to remain on the site. Although the original post is no longer on Stack Overflow, a copy has been preserved by The Reddit Mirror Archive.
