I hate foo. I think it's stupid.

I just use letters, most often x or y.

$temp, $dummy

never was a fan of $foo and $bar either.....

6/17/2008 4:05:56 PM

temp
tmep
test
junk

6/17/2008 4:08:14 PM

test or crap

6/17/2008 4:27:19 PM

i, j or x, y

wonder why i, j, x, and y are popular choices.

I know when I first learned to loop, it was always for(i,i<condition,i++). Wonder how that standard came about. Almost all of my for statement variables are i.

i and j are typically my loop counters.
x and y are, ummm, x and y. always need coordinates x, y, z.

i prefer crap, test, dummy, or temp.

i believe i've spent a lot of time debugging a subroutine or two that i've named "test" only to find out that's some implicit function in fortran. so i prefer to use something that wouldn't possibly be reserved as a built-in function, so i stick with crap.

I use s or t.

blah or poop, and sometimes if i'm just testing some conditional (especially one i don't want to be true) i might say

if(condition) print('fuck!');

6/17/2008 7:55:21 PM

usually im pretty descriptive even in debu shit,

but I mainly write VBscript to ease my admin work

That being said.

I recently had to go through a few scripts and ad replace FUck, beause when i first wrote the original script (for my own use) i had all my connectivy status stored in that variable.

I typically do a

if(condition) then "Hello"


Keep it clean just in case.

i'm guessing it's down to i = increment
