To decrement a number in JavaScript, you can use the --
operator. This operator subtracts 1 from the value of a number.
Here’s an example of how you can use the --
operator to decrement a number:
[dm_code_snippet background=”yes” background-mobile=”yes” slim=”no” line-numbers=”no” bg-color=”#abb8c3″ theme=”dark” language=”php” wrapped=”no” height=”” copy-text=”Copy Code” copy-confirmed=”Copied”]
let num = 10; num--; console.log(num); // Output: 9

You can also use the -=
operator to subtract a specific value from a number. For example:
[dm_code_snippet background=”yes” background-mobile=”yes” slim=”no” line-numbers=”no” bg-color=”#abb8c3″ theme=”dark” language=”php” wrapped=”no” height=”” copy-text=”Copy Code” copy-confirmed=”Copied”]
let num = 10; num -= 5; console.log(num); // Output: 5

You can also use the Math.max()
function to decrement a number. This function returns the maximum of a set of numbers. You can use it like this:
[dm_code_snippet background=”yes” background-mobile=”yes” slim=”no” line-numbers=”no” bg-color=”#abb8c3″ theme=”dark” language=”php” wrapped=”no” height=”” copy-text=”Copy Code” copy-confirmed=”Copied”]
let num = 10; num = Math.max(num - 1, 0); console.log(num); // Output: 9

Finally, you can use the while
loop to decrement a number. Here’s an example:
[dm_code_snippet background=”yes” background-mobile=”yes” slim=”no” line-numbers=”no” bg-color=”#abb8c3″ theme=”dark” language=”php” wrapped=”no” height=”” copy-text=”Copy Code” copy-confirmed=”Copied”]
let num = 10; while (num > 0) { num--; } console.log(num); // Output: 0
