increment
One step up
An increment is a small increase or addition, typically one in a regular series: The thermostat adjusts in one-degree increments.
The word implies measured, systematic change rather than random fluctuation.
In programming, to increment a variable is to increase its value by a fixed amount, usually one.
The opposite is decrement.
