Hello everyone,
What is the difference between 'Increment' and 'increase'?
Thanks.
Have a good day!

Sometimes there is no difference and they are interchangeable, but 'increment' indicates an increase in regular steps, whereas 'increase' has a wider, more general usage.
This means that sometimes only 'increase' is the correct word to use.
