SUCCESSOR AND PREDECESSOR -
The predecessor of a number is the number that comes immediately before it in a sequence of numbers. For example, the predecessor of the number 7 is 6, the predecessor of 100 is 99, and the predecessor of -5 is -6.
The successor of a number is the number that comes immediately after it in a sequence of numbers. For example, the successor of the number 7 is 8, the successor of 100 is 101, and the successor of -5 is -4.
In mathematical terms, we can define the predecessor of a number n as (n-1), and the successor of a number n as (n+1).
Successor means one more than the given number (+ 1) Predecessor means one less than the given number (– 1)
