# Increment

## Overview

![The Increment Node.](/files/DCDYSGOoZE7J5GOeMhnG)

**Increment** increases a value by a given step and outputs the new value.

It is comparable to the `++` operator in computer science, except for the fact that the *increment step* varies, instead of being fixed at 1.

[**Scope**](/incari-studio/2024.1/toolbox/overview.md#scopes): **Project**, **Scene**, **Function**, **Prefab**.

## Attributes

![The Increment Node Attributes.](/files/ADxIw3YvUnidk322t0Xr)

| Attribute   | Type                                          | Description                                                                                                    |
| ----------- | --------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Data Type` | **Drop-down**                                 | The type of data that will be plugged into the `Input` **Socket** and will return via its `Output` **Socket**. |
| `Step`      | *Defined in the `Data Type`* ***Attribute***. | The default value of the `Step` **Socket**, if none is provided.                                               |

## Inputs

| Input             | Type                                          | Description                                                           |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| *Pulse Input* (►) | **Pulse**                                     | A standard input **Pulse**, to trigger the execution of the **Node**. |
| `Input`           | *Defined in the `Data Type`* ***Attribute***. | The value to be incremented.                                          |
| `Step`            | *Defined in the `Data Type`* ***Attribute***. | The amount that the value will be incremented by.                     |

## Outputs

| Output             | Type                                          | Description                                                                                                                            |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| *Pulse Output* (►) | **Pulse**                                     | A standard output **Pulse**, to move onto the next **Node** along the **Logic Branch**, once this **Node** has finished its execution. |
| `Output`           | *Defined in the `Data Type`* ***Attribute***. | The incremented value.                                                                                                                 |
