Of course the second is (a little) better.
But, If you permits:
for i := StardValue to EndValue do
MyArray[i] := i;
Now is more readable. More verbose than the first but less verbose
than second. ;)
And it's not about the size of variable names. It's just about avoiding
duplicate names which can lead to confusion.
You right but:
- prefix increases the size :P
- variables abbreviated are more easy to programmers do not use the
same names to, objects, primitives variables, etc.
Once we had the following code in Delphi:
Procedure TMyComponent.DoSomething;
Var
B : String;
begin
// complex code to calculate B. Prop is a property of the component.
Prop:=B
end;
Someone, while fixing a bug, introduced then
Procedure TMyComponent.DoSomething;
Var
B : String;
Prop : String;
begin
// complex code
Prop:=B
end;
And all of a sudden, our program no longer worked.
It took us a long time to find the error, namely an newly introduced local variable.
This kind of error is simply impossible in objfpc mode.
