I use h and k as my loop vars when doing anything in which i and/or j might be taken.
Reason? HK-47.
If you got the reference without search engine help you have good taste in games.

I am an electrical engineer, minored in mathematics and worked as a C programmer. Not sure which side I agree more

I, j,k but then if I have to go any deeper I’ll reconstruct the input or find another way.

@RememberMe
Obvious statement: I know that game too.

@C0D4 yeah, tops in my current project is a threefold nested for-loop, and that's a standard Shellsort implementation.

@Julien00859 for those like me who don’t know:

quaternion: a complex number of the form w + xi + yj + zk, where w, x, y, z are real numbers and i, j, k are imaginary units that satisfy certain conditions.

Just curious what j is in electrical engineering?

@devios1 the square root of -1 of course. Lower case i is already used for time variable current.
