Do you understand what the i += 1 does ?  It is the same as i++,
am I right ?

The difference lies in the timing of when the increment takes place 
(immediately in the case of i += 1, and after the value is used in 
the case of i++).   Do you think the distinction mentioned makes a 
difference for the algorithm ?
