Using i += 1 instead of i++

Hi,

Is there a reason why i += 1 is used in this course, over using i++?

I'm not sure if there is an actual reason for using += 1, or if its just because i++ hasnt been explained yet.

Thanks,

Alex

Hello I think it's because increment and decrement operations isn't in basics course. Also i++ takes longer than ++i to be perform.
