Completely new to using Remix (first few hours of using it) but confused by this behaviour. In the simple code example below using Remix, why does an operation as simple as incrementing a uint256 (commented in code as problem line) cause the Remix gas estimate to become infinite. Is this a bug?


 // SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT

pragma solidity 0.8.8; // 0.8.18


contract SimpleStorage {
    uint256 public favoriteNumber; // public creates a getter


function store(uint256 _favoriteNumber) public {
    favoriteNumber = _favoriteNumber;
    favoriteNumber = favoriteNumber + 1; // Problem line here ...
 }




}

Hi I am also new to this technology and I think the remix just cannot understand this line and shows infinite gas it does not mean the code is wrong or that it will take infinite gas. This user explained it better (I don't know how to give them credit but here is the link) Explained the infinite gas better
