INCR & DECR statements #89

These might be redundant because you can just do add 1 and var in var, but I tend to do that a lot so thought this might be worth exploring. Tests are in Lartu/ldpltest#4.

Example:

DATA:
n is number

PROCEDURE:
while n is less than 100 do
  display "n: " n crlf
  incr n
repeat

display "final: " n crlf

Wasn't sure about INCR vs INCREMENT too?

I love this! Thank you!

I would stay with INCR for the time being. INCREMENT is more expressive, but if you are using INCR is because you don't want to write much, and INCREMENT is just overkill :laughing:
