"How to name your variables and functions so they can be understood by other humans" should be a mandatory lesson right after someone writes their first ever computer program.

@Jilano Thanks! Love it here

But I like my function names.
They are so EASY to remember....

A()
B()
C()
D()
E()

If you didn’t pickup on the sarcasm() here I will probably murder someone if I see them do this 🤔

@C0D4 Me too! My personal bad habit is using i,j,k as the iterator in my loops but I'm working on it :D

@xxxx
i can live with i, j should be named in nested for loops but k? i try to avoid a third layer.

@C0D4 current project I'm working someone literally did this.

I was like what the fuck dude!

@luper That coworker definitely deserves to be a victim of the Pornhub Prank.

@C0D4 yeah, I was just saying. I don't mind going down to the third level, maybe because I work with image data in numpy quite often

@xxxx care to elaborate on what that is?

@luper https://devrant.io/rants/855014/...

@xxxx I think that's fine to be honest, it's a pretty universal convention. Unless you're using something like a foreach, then you should be more careful.

Definitely! I do it for myself first lol, because I have very quick code amnesia.
@C0D4 yeah for iterators I find that letter is faster to read and understood by most due to most programmers using them.

@xxxx it always comes back to @linuxxx here. Such a great ranter.

@luper His ranting game is top notch, I agree lol

I actually lost points in my first programming assignment for using one-letter variables. Every int was called n, m, and so on. The same goes for char c and string s. My teacher told me it was a bad practice and said he would mark any future code with this naming scheme as unreadable

@ocab19 good teacher!
