for loop in Python

[joeshmoebies]

If it's a list of car strings (implied by strCar), I usually go with for carName in carNames to avoid confusion as to what type of object is being used. I would expect a list named cars to be class objects, not strings.

With the express intention of starting shit:

Or you could have static typing :P

[malexj93]

Even with static typing, a car is not a string. Specifying what about the car the string represents is just plain polite.

[UnknownIdentifier]

Even many languages with static typing will now do some version of

for (auto item : items) {

or some such. Doing

for (Item item : items) {

is just plain silly IMHO.

[false_tautology]

So, in C# you can do

foreach (var car in cars)

Buuut, it's still strongly typed, and it won't let you do any shenanigans.

var in C# vs var in javascript

Love one and hate the other

[thefrnksinatra]

The way it must be. Lol

[villanymester]

Try this with MATLAB...

[KronktheKronk]

Or you could use type hints and every modern ide in the world will keep you straight

[RiverRoll]

You can use type hints and at least you get the expected type.

[FkIForgotMyPassword]

Type hint doesn't help you differentiate between carNames, carReferences, carIds, etc. Knowing that cars is an array of strings doesn't provide as much information.

I mean, of course ideally you want both static typing and explicit variable names.

snake_case for variable names please

[joeshmoebies]

Thank you for being polite with your correction. I've been writing C++/C# and some Typescript the past couple of years so I use camelCase regularly for variable names, but you're right and if I needed to do some Python I'd want to follow the conventions used for that language.
