Discussion: the fact this tutorial is done with x and not i is wrong!

Question

What do you think?

Answer 1

I really think variable naming is up to the developer and there might be common ways to do but in the end, its the developers decision.

Answer 2

Depends on the developer and up to you.

Answer 3

as soon as you work with coordinates your opinion would be right, as it would confusing. otherwise x would be a standard one-letter variable, and would not be poor coding.

Answer 4

it doesn't matter what letter or word you use to identify the variable, in machine language it's replaced by a cpu register or a memory location identified by numbers only.

Answer 5

i and x won't be used in real world programming anyway! But I was thought with 'i' rather than x also
