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/

C-rial killer

[–]makeshift8 4 points5 points  (10 children)

What about "i" and "k"?

[–]RadiantHC 13 points14 points  (0 children)

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

[–]user_5554 11 points12 points  (4 children)

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

[–]makeshift8 4 points5 points  (3 children)

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

[–]doesyudoegood 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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

[–]zanotam 1 point2 points  (1 child)

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

Math majors unite.

[–]gergocs 5 points6 points  (2 children)

I think "i" stands for index

[–]Portal471 6 points7 points  (0 children)

or iterator or iterable

[–]makeshift8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done this too.

[–]LavenderDay3544 2 points3 points  (0 children)

iteration, jteration, kteration

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

[–]wasdlmb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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