I helped port a physicist's assembly code long ago; variables were named alphabetically in the order encountered in the code, e.g. A, B, ...A1, ..., AA1, etc.

I helped port a physicist's assembly code long ago; variables were named alphabetically in the order encountered in the code, e.g. A, B, ...A1, ..., AA1, etc. up to ZZ23.
Still amazed that the nearly-incomprehensible code (and the port) worked
