If they're actually unrelated, they're more likely to be in different files outright, than immediately sequential. "Encapsulating" in a struct is pointless/potentially obfuscatory if they're related local temps - but I'll use the same style for initializing structs. > And once you add the comments explaining what the first three variables are and how they should be used, and the comment explaining why pi doesn't have a decimal point, there is no benefit to alignment.
