Concept explainers
To _______ a value means to increase it by one.
In general,“increment” means increase the value of the variable by 1.
Explanation of Solution
Unary operator:
Unary operators such as “++” and “--” are used to increment and decrement the values stored in the variables.
Increment operator “++”:
Increment operator is used to increment or increase the value of the variable by “1”.
Example:
The following three statements are used to increment the variable “val” by “1”.
//the variable val is increased by 1
val = val + 1;
//the variable val is increased by 1
val += 1;
//the variable val is increased by 1
val++;

The number of days that it takes starting from being a seed and ending in being a fruit is what is called the growth cycle.
