BigInteger value
)

Remarks
The Increment method defines the increment operation for BigInteger values. It enables code such as the following:
Languages that lack an increment operator (such as Visual Basic) or do not support custom operators can call the Add method instead, as the following example shows.
Because BigInteger objects are immutable, the Increment operator creates a new BigInteger object whose value is one more than the BigInteger object represented by value. Therefore, repeated calls to Increment may be expensive.
