Depreciation ++ operator in Swift 3, Looking for a work around

Question

I currently use this as a game over counter.. GameScene Swift

var gameOverCounter = 0

it is called when a player runs hits an enemy (no physics bodies involved) touches began method

gameOverCounter++
if gameOverCounter > 3 {
    numRounds = 121
    // ...
}

same for number of rounds, and I am sure theres is plenty of people that use it for scoring...

score++

just curious for work arounds in relation to the topic, or if theres a better way to populate incremental value of there properties and achieve the same behavior.

Answer 1

i += 1

Is the same as

i++

But it's more explicit and obvious
