I recall a developer who used to frequent here saying how some of his variable names where like lcMyReallyVerySuperLongVariableNameSoYouAre1000PctClearWhatIMean. (Ok, perhaps not THAT long.) I prayed that I would NEVER have to work in his code. x1 and x2 are absolutely unacceptable, but to go to the extreme opposite as he did made me sick to think of coding like that. -- Mike Babcock, MCP MB Software Solutions, LLC President, Chief Software Architect http://mbsoftwaresolutions.com http://fabmate.com http://twitter.com/mbabcock16 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
