The "++" and "--" operators have been deprecated Xcode 7.3
<p>I am looking at Xcode 7.3 notes and I notice this issue.</p>

<blockquote>

<p>Could some one explain why it is deprecated? And am I right that in new version of Xcode now you going to use instead of <code>++</code> this <code>x += 1</code>;</p>

<p>Example:</p>

<pre><code>for var index = 0; index &lt; 3; index += 1 {
    print("index is \(index)")
}
</code></pre>
