This is really bizarre, I've heard people say that fewer lines of code
is desirable, but this is the first time I hear somebody say that X%
fewer characters lead almost exactly to X% reduction in complexity!
---------------
for(int
indexOfAuthorInCurrentIteration=0;
indexOfAuthorInCurrentIteration<=authorsFromNameQuery.length;
++indexOfAuthorInCurrentIteration) {
Author currentAuthorBeingIteratedOver
= authorsFromNameQuery[indexOfAuthorInCurrentIteration]
// do something with the author
}
---------------
Nobody is saying you have to use super long names here, what you are
saying is that less characters more % reduction in complexity, which
leads to this
for (int i=0; i <= aq.length; ++i) {
Author aa = aq[i];
// do something with the author
}
Which I don't think results in any % less chances of bugs, as a matter
of fact it ends up being less readable than some reasonable and clear
names that could have been applied.
I hope in your code reviews you are not doing character counts and
blasting developers on these bogus measurements.
