Yup, this is good advice if you need to save the chunks, or make more
than one pass through.
The transcript for incrementing is "add 1 to counter", which is
equivalent to other languages' "counter++".
Of course you can also say "put counter + 1 into counter" , which is
equivalent to "counter = counter + 1" or "counter += 1"
