Curious as to whether there’s a difference between x++, x+=1, and x = x + 1? How much does the data type of a for loop’s iterator impact runtime? Yeah, maybe nitpicking about syntax for performance-sake is overkill in many cases, but for anyone working on data-heavy applications with lots of looping/processing of data, a little can go a long way.
