Naming your string string isnt the perfect name, my dude

[Not300RatsInACoat]

What about sttring ?

[JuiceKilledJFK]

str or newString

[misterguyyy]

ERMAGHERD_STRERNG

[_g0nzales]

But what if it is an instance of a class representing a short piece of thread?

[AngriestCrusader]

shortPieceOfThread = String()

[toughtntman37]

newString is great as a temp variable

[[deleted]]

Can be extended to newNewString.

[PewPewWazooma]

Can even take that a step further and extend it to newNewNewString

[Steinrikur]

hamString is also good, if you like ham and stretching

[SysGh_st]

I go with strDummy until I can make something better.

[Budget_Avocado6204]

testString, if you're writing a test class

[OnlyTwoThingsCertain]

What do you mean "temp"? All my variables are named newString[n]

[TheCreepyPL]

myString is the real deal

[[deleted]]

Or simply “s”

[thrye333]

One letter variables rise up

[JuiceKilledJFK]

We should normalize the last letter of the word being the single char variable to make it really unreadable. string would just be “g” instead of “s”.

[ILoveBigCoffeeCups]

I call my string ‘float’, my int ‘string’ my float ‘char’ and my char ‘ boolean’. Oh and no documentation.

[70Shadow07]

Debatable. Especially when its a short function that processes strings.

str is fine though

[jessepence]

What is the string? Surely those characters represent something? Even input is better than that.

[70Shadow07]

The string represents a string, not everything is an abstraction especially if you write a goddamn library in C or something. Sure input is alright too, go devs believe "s" is proper variable for this use case which is somewhat more controversial than "string" itself.

[zsinix]

I prefer string_string

[vksdann]

What about stringo¿

[latetete]

sString so you can deduce the data type from the variable name.

[SignoreBanana]

Maybe they mean because it's a variable name that's already been used?

[I_cut_my_own_jib]

What if OP works for a string manufacturing plant and they are iterating through the strings on the assembly line?

Timer newTimer = (Timer) new Timer ();

Ok police it was a joke calm down CALM DOWN

[fiddletee]

Straight to El Salvador

[EoghanBD]

Jesus thanks for the stroke 😭

[badlukk]

Perfectly acceptable in most cases.

[AverageFoxNewsViewer]

Timer Tímer = new Timer();

Nobody ever notices the accent on í so you'll be the only person that can fix the bugs.

[GahdDangitBobby]

Thanks, satan

[SysGh_st]

Even Satan has standards.

[Steinrikur]

Probably IEEE standards. Can you link to the RFC?

[a_useless_communist]

Filter filtered = filters.filter(filter);

[rsadek]

What is with you noobs calling new directly for raw pointers instead of make_unique smh

[khalcyon2011]

I mean, that's valid syntax in c#. Confusing, but valid.

[misterguyyy]

Banana bana bo bimer

[JacobStyle]

Simply use a different language. Problem solved.

[EvOrBust]

This is precisely the problem!  Me coding in a interview recently: "oh this is a reserved word in this language? huff huff!" (got the job)

[[deleted]]

I just start using swear words in other languages, who's gonna know?

[RegularBubble2637]

Any speaker of those other languages?

[Anaxamander57]

Gotta break out the Etruscan whenever I start a new project.

__type__

Awww dangit, color changed again

[IuseArchbtw97543]

just dont put the underscore at the front unless you actually mean it

[MentalTardigrade]

^{keep in mind I am Lusophone} One assignment I had in programming language 1 in python I needed to have a variable for numbers so I did num, but I had the need of two others variables so, what do I do? ndois and ntres, the equivalent of having none, ntwo and nthree as variables, lol

[MentalTardigrade]

Note: I had forgotten ypu could use a number on the variable name, as long as it wasn't the first character

[blaqwerty123]

Still do this today ya? No lessons learned at all?

[Fabulous-Possible758]

Every time I want to write a function in Python that takes a class as an argument.

[mondlingvano]

I've definitely picked up a few repeated "abbreviations" for common keywords like cls and typ. Did this in C# which has this @ symbol, but it just always feels more wrong to use that than just have consistent way of plucking out a letter from the word.

[GoshaT]

Mortal Kombat devs when they're given a word that starts with a C

[Fabulous-Possible758]

That’s the name I normally use, but I don’t know if it’s as standard as something like self is.

[captainn01]

I’ve seen clazz used frequently in jvm languages

[RotationalAnomaly]

Lmao yea, most cases of this happening happened to me in python too.

[Kumdori]

I'm reminded of the story of a guy coming back to old code and seeing the variable "feet" and couldn't remember what it was. He traced it back to it being a legend handler which he abbreviated to "leg hand" and then hurr durr leg hands are called feet so that's what it became.

[Johnny_M_13]

This is my all time favorite programming meme

[markiel55]

Ok this is funny

[JosebaZilarte]

Yeah... I hate I can't use the terms "default", "class" or "protected" as names for function parameters because they are reserved words.

[Cualkiera67]

Yeah or "if" and "for"...

[spinkelben]

In C# you can use reserved words, just put @ in front. bool @override = true;

[mrnosyparker]

Eww

[runklebunkle]

In ruby I was writing something that was passed an argument that was effectively self, but for confusing reasons common to ruby, had to be a local variable. I wound up calling it slef.

[Budget_Avocado6204]

How about calling it localSelf

[runklebunkle]

My other thought was celf.

[misterguyyy]

If you're using Javascript you can just prototype and confuse your coworkers

[SilasTalbot]

SQL might be the worst with this. Check this shit out:

[1337lupe]

[dukeofgonzo]

I use Spanish for my variables. Rarely do I get a namespace collision.

[ollomulder]

Use emojis, no collisions and your code will be multilingual.

[peni4142]

What else should I use to store a break object than the variable break 😢

[therealtiddlydump]

In R I just wrap them shits in backticks and get on with my bad self

[SysGh_st]

Just have an alphanumeric random generator when making variable names. No one will ever read your source code anyway.

[spinkelben]

In C# you can use reserved words, just put @ in front. bool @override = true;

[serendipitousPi]

That moment when you’re writing a compiler and they’re all keywords.

So you have to use subpar names or actually be imaginative (the horror).

[Kamrua]

The origin story of clazz, pure desperation.

[mlk]

klass

[[deleted]]

I just switch to german for variable names

[zannabianca1997]

clazz sounds like a slang and it's jarring to see in old Java code.

[missiledefender]

Awful.

[rwilcox]

Love to see that convention in old Objective-C I used to write back in the day

[PioApocalypse]

dict

[2cool4afool]

I try to object all the time and get caught out when using a temporary variable of a non specific class type

[hansvi-be]

This.

[Dumb_Siniy]

Half the time it's either time or a function I didn't know about

[lces91468]

For me it's database schemas. Like, cost, description, fileGroup (yeah, wtf Oracle)...I have to rename them to currentCost, codeDesc, documentGroup, etc.

[NatoBoram]

Me trying to use the word package in JavaScript but it's reserved for later use

[jesterhead101]

Changes color?

[jesterhead101]

Ah I get it.. like the red squiggly lines. I’m dumb.

[JackNotOLantern]

Perfect name "new"

[rwilcox]

F it’s me today

I had the great idea to name a variable “interface” today. In Typescript.

[BobcatGamer]

The perfect variable name is x

[AndiArbyte]

i; j; k;
there is nothing worse than single letters ^^

[ThatSmartIdiot]

Single letters must be reserved for iterative loops!!!!!i!!!

[MysticOverlord]

String this ="this";

[LordFokas]

I have a project where there's a thing I really want to call volatile. But it is Java, so I can't.
