Taken literally, that should mean
x += 1 # increment x
{And now we are back to my college assembly days... where rolling the
project source listing across the length of the hallway revealed what my
partner had worked on vs what I'd worked on... My code used the width of
the paper with comments, his was pretty sparse*.
* His was also non-functional; as a senior all he wanted was a passing
grade of any level; I was a year or two lower... Since my part was the text
formatter to his input/output processes, there was no way to test my code.
Fortunately the instructor decided to take the higher of the final project
or the final exam and ignore the other -- so my exam score worked out}
