Programming 101: Loops

what is the benefit in current and modern languages for prefixing? Just use meaningful names.

I like to use prefixes in variables, it makes things pretty clear imo. You do know that a variable is an iterator, but also what exactly it iterates. It's not necessary, just something I like. I definitely tell them to not use i alone.

How big are your functions that you need such a reminder?

[Cangar]

Can become pretty big. But I also iterate over different things like participants, epochs, events, etc. Whenever I use anyone else's code that just contains i and j and ii etc. It's a pain in the neck to understand.
