I'm an embedded C developer. Our shop doesn't let single-letter variables pass in code review.
- bpicolo 10y agoSounds like a good shop! :) Even for loop variables I tend to use `idx` these days in languages without smarter constructs. Just slightly better and more readable for no effort.
- whatshisface 10y agoI disagree, we're so used to reading i that the (actually less phonetic) idx is really slightly harder to read. I take my bikesheds green, thank you.
