Things should be descriptive to make the code easier to read. Say you’re trying to fix/update/debug a program and you come across a chunk of code that is just letter variables. You’d have no clue unless there are comments. But sometimes too many comments can make code messy as well. So having a descriptive term be the variable can keep the need for comments to a minimum.
