If there&#x27;s some technical or performance reason for getting rid of this as far as the swift compiler goes, then I guess whatever just tell me how to increment a number and that&#x27;s what I&#x27;ll do.<p>But to try to say that x++ is complicated to understand? It&#x27;s no more complicated than a lot of operations. I don&#x27;t think anyone would intuit what x%2 means either. There are things that you can get just by looking at it, and others that you just have to learn once, then you go &quot;oh, that&#x27;s what it does&quot; and move on.
