# Interface IncrementInstruction

All Superinterfaces:
  `ClassFileElement`, `CodeElement`, `Instruction`

public sealed interface IncrementInstruction extends Instruction
Models a local variable increment instruction in the `code` array of a `Code` attribute. Corresponding opcodes have a kind of `Opcode.Kind.INCREMENT`. Delivered as a `CodeElement` when traversing the elements of a `CodeModel`.

A local variable increment instruction is composite:

    IncrementInstruction(
        int slot,
        int constant
    )

where

- `slot` must be within `[0, 65535]`.
- `constant` must be within `[-32768, 32767]`.

- ## Method Details

  - ### slot

    int slot()
    Returns the local variable slot to increment.
    Returns:
      the local variable slot to increment

  - ### constant

    int constant()
    Returns the value to increment by.
    Returns:
      the value to increment by

  - ### of

    static IncrementInstruction of(int slot, int constant)
    Returns an increment instruction.
    - `slot` must be within `[0, 65535]`.
    - `constant` must be within `[-32768, 32767]`.
    Parameters:
      `slot` - the local variable slot to increment
      `constant` - the value to increment by
    Returns:
      an increment instruction
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if `slot` or `constant` is out of range
