are these 2 expressions equivalent in kotlin?
assuming var start = 0

start += 1  // expr1
start++    // expr2

They are slightly different.

[streetsofboston]

start += 1 increases start by 1, but this whole line is a statement, not an expression

[streetsofboston]

start++ also increases start by 1, but this whole line is an expression, returning the value of start before start is increased by one.
