Hi Jacob, Oh, yeah. So do I. Not only was it the way I was taught to program those conventions you mention at least have use to me on a day to day basis. Declaring an integer variable as iSumNumber or a string as sMyString helps me keep the variables and data types straight. Especially, in Python which doesn't need an explicit declaration of the data type. Variables just pop into existence with whatever kind of data you assign it which can get confusing, for me at least, in figuring out if I assigned an integer, float, etc to that variable.
Also I've gotten in the habit of closing my blocks of code with comments as well. Since if statements, functions, loops, etc in Python have no closing braces etc I add a comment like #End if, #End loop, or #End function so I can quickly determine where one block ends and another one begins etc. While not necessary I do find it useful for my own programming needs. Cheers!
