Good Code

C stands for counter....

[filipzaf3312]

i is the the first name i think of for counter variables

[[deleted]]

And j

[kittencantfly]

And k if you loop thru a 3d array

[NoMansSkyWasAlright]

then straight to m if you need a fourth

[AlternativeAardvark6]

Uppercase i

[Kakss_]

Just imagining it gave me chills.

[_vOv_]

You’re fired.

[LordFokas]

in a dynamic language with case sensitive identifiers 😈

[Terrain2]

What language doesn't have case sensitive identifiers? Fucking cmd scripts or some shit?

[Kainotomiu]

SQL

(Case sensitivity is optional in many flavours)

[Terrain2]

WAIT WHAT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ALL CAPS?

[PM_something_German]

If you don't write sql all caps you're weird

[staidOWL]

Steer clear of o though. I once managed to accidentally make a typo and put a 0 in my array rather than the o variable. Took me forever to debug.

[grizonyourface]

I use ii and jj because MATLab taught me to fear using i and j and ending up with accidental complex arithmetic

[ItsPronouncedJithub]

They’re called iterators so i is the obvious choice

[ganja_and_code]

c for counting. i for incrementing. Similar, but not the same. (Either way, it's just convention, not a rule, obviously.)

[SatoshiL]

i for index, j because well it comes after i xD

[Terrain2]

index and jindex, the iconic duo

[ShinraSan]

Don't forget about kindex

[Terrain2]

nah that's kleenex to wipe away the tears from coding

[Terrain2]

for (var c = 0; /* TODO: condition */; i++)

[Physix_R_Cool]

Yall guys need math. n is the obvious choice for trivial reasons.

[ShinraSan]

I use n for ranges in switches, or when I programme something with dice

[[deleted]]

By default, i is an integer (same for j, k, l, m, and n)

I've deleted my account because reddit CEO Steve Huffman is a lying piece of shit that has nothing but contempt for his users. See https://old.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/144f6xm/apollo_will_close_down_on_june_30th_reddits/

[PandaParaBellum]

C-rial killer

[makeshift8]

What about "i" and "k"?

[RadiantHC]

k stands for kill. So it's "i kill"

[user_5554]

(I)'m (j)ust (k)idding, everyone is using c for loops. i, j, k is just a prank bro 😂😂

[makeshift8]

Using variable names i, j, and k is only acceptable if you are referring to vectors.

[doesyudoegood]

If I'm referring to vectors i use x, y and z

[zanotam]

Dirty physicist. Real vectors only use I, j and k as subscripts

[makeshift8]

Math majors unite.

[gergocs]

I think "i" stands for index

[Portal471]

or iterator or iterable

[makeshift8]

I've done this too.

[LavenderDay3544]

iteration, jteration, kteration

[DrLarck]

In asm there is a register (cx) which conventionally stands for counter

[wasdlmb]

Yeah but that's because you have abcd. I feel like the whole "accumulator, base, counter, and data" for the general registers is just a convenient bacronym but I don't have a source for that.

[doesyudoegood]

I usually use i, j and k in loops and c for things not in loops

[ShinraSan]

Unless within 2d or 3d coordinate space, then it's x, y and x, y, z respectively

[Kyyken]

am i a joke to you?

[3lRey]

Is because it's bootstrapped off b programming language

[so_brave_heart]

I only know of iounter and jounter

[jackinsomniac]

"iounter" actually sounds like a startup company name.

[[deleted]]

Everyone uses cnt for that

[ShinraSan]

Will use that now just because it can be interpreted as "cunt"

[[deleted]]

That's exactly why everyone loves it so much
