Equal decrement of life.
(a) The decrease of life in a group of persons in which
the assumed law of mortality is such that of a given
large number of persons, all being now of the same
age, an equal number shall die each consecutive year.
(b) The decrease of life in a group of persons in which
the assumed law of mortality is such that the ratio of
those dying in a year to those living through the year
is constant, being independent of the age of the
persons.

decrement operator
A programming language unary operator that
adds one to its operand. Similarly, a decrement operator
subtracts one from its operand.
In the B programming language and its many descendents
(e.g. C, Perl, Java), the increment operator is written
"++" and decrement "--". They can be either prefix or
postfix, both of which return a value as well as changing
their operand. The prefix form, e.g. ++x, increments
variable x before returning its value whereas postfix, x++,
returns x's original value before it was incremented.
The expression ++x is equivalent to the assignment operator,
x += 1. There is no simple corresponding equivalent for x++.
These expressions, ++x, x++, x += 1 are almost equivalent to
the long form x = x + 1 except that the latter involves two
references to x. In the case of a simple variable, this makes
no difference but the operand can be any lvalue (something
that can be assigned to), including a complex pointer
expression whose value changes each time it is evaluated.
If the operand is a pointer then incrementing it (in any of
the above ways) causes it to point to the next element of its
specified type.
The name of the programming language C++ is a humourous use
of the postfix increment operator to imply that C++ is "one
better than" C.
