I just love this.

A: "You have insulted me!!!"
B: "It's not an insult."
C: "Yes it is! It's an insult!"
B: "It wasn't intended as an insult, but fine, if you want to take it
as an insult, fine. I don't really care."
D: "PLONK!!!!!"

The more this thread continues, the more insane it becomes.

And all this because I expressed my opinion on what I think makes code
harder to understand. Incredible. Has everybody just gone completely
insane all of a sudden? I can't even believe this thread, seriously.

People are of course free to continue posting in this thread, but I
suggest that it's gone beyond the point where any further discussion
would be constructive.  No new points have been made in some time, and
no minds will be changed.

Nothing is wrong with us, we're simply disagreeing with you. If you have a
problem with that then I would suggest you're suffering from some kind of
narcissistic personality disorder and you should get help.

You are the one whining previously about me "insulting" you.

But apparently hypocrisy is A-ok.

And all this because I expressed my opinion on what makes code less
readable and understandable. This thread is completely insane.
I cannot even believe it.

Saying someone has thin skin can be an insult, but it
doesn't have to be.  Some people are more sensitive
than others.  I have heard someone say something about
how thin or thick someone's skin was, and the statement
was made in a way that I would characterize as a most
benevolent manner.

Please note that I am not making any claims as to what
Juha intended in his statement.

I was making a claim as to what Juha intended.  By raising an irrelevant
point about a figure of speech, you risk rekindling an argument that had
died out more than a week ago.  Please don't do that.

When someone starts arguing with "you are insulting me", you know that
he doesn't have any *actual* argument. Especially when it comes to
such a complete non-insult as "thick skull" (which just means
"stubborn"). When this happens, the discussion has reached a point
where one person is really, really grasping for straws, to have something,
anything at all, to attack the other person with. The actual discussion
is over and the childish namecalling has begun.

You have been writing unit tests for existing software, trying to achieve
100% code coverage (something that *really* requires understanding what
every single line of code is doing) as your full-time job, 40 hours a
week, non-stop, since the 90's?

You must have the most boring life I can imagine.

Or, alternatively, you don't know what you are talking about.

You can't write unit tests for existing code unless you really,

Not many jobs involve green field coding. 90% of them are debugging and/or
adding features to pre-existing code.

Just stop for a moment to read what you are writing. Consider what kind

Sometimes they do.  Then they are called "idioms".  I don't know if the 
use of "i" as an index has ever been considered a bad habit - if so, 
perhaps Fourier is the man to blame for using it for summation some 200 
years ago.  (The bust on Fourier's grave in Paris looks very much like 
Voldemort in the Harry Potter films, so perhaps it /is/ evil!)

I think you are exaggerating beyond all bounds of reason.  Can you 
/really/ claim you think "i" is not clear in a simple "for" loop?  This 
is not a notation invented by Muttley - it has been standard in almost 
every programming language except APL.

/Cryptic/ abbreviations are counter-productive.  Clear and obvious ones 
(clear and obvious from the context, and to the reader) are helpful. 
You had no problem understanding "SMS", but it would have taken more 
effort to understand what he meant if he had written "short messaging 
service".

I have read enough code written by others to say that yes, with perhaps
the exception of very short one-liners, naming the loop variable after
the thing it's indexing makes the code clearer than using a short
abstract name that says nothing.

The importance of this grows about linearly with the length of the
loop body, and exponentially with each nested loop.

You wouldn't believe how much easier it is to read and understand
especially nested loops where each loop variable is clearly named
after the thing it's indexing or counting. You don't have to guess.
You don't have to remember. It says it directly. It makes it so
much easier to understand.

You are right - I wouldn't believe it.

I /do/ believe that if the rest of the code is not clear, the functions 
are too long, the logic too convoluted, the documentation too poor, the 
code is poorly structured, the layout is poor, or many other failings 
for clear code - I /do/ believe that /then/ it might be less bad if the 
loop index had a longer name.

But if ever I see code where I think "that loop variable should have a 
better name than just 'i'", I know that there are many things that are 
much more important to making the code clear.  And once you fix the 
important stuff, the loop variable "i" is usually clearer than any 
alternative.

Poor legibility of code is a problem - we all agree on that.  Making 
some identifiers longer or more descriptive is not the solution - at 
best it covers up the real problems.

Of course you don't. You are just arguing for the sake of arguing.

But you won't be convincing me any time soon. I know what I am seeing,

Text where recently introduced (within 3-4 code lines) variable

These are abstract claims. Demonstrate? To me it perhaps depends.
If these loop over 'X', 'Y' and 'Z' dimensions then it is indeed confusing.
What you typically write like "foobar" ... to me just "f" is lot better
as "foobar" anyway means nothing.

If we anyway see within few previous lines that "i" is index of
current image: for(size_t i = 0; i < images.size(); ++i)
or "k" is index of current key then  names  "index_of_current_image"
and "index_of_current_key" would not help at all. Opposite has been
evident. Demonstrate how it is not.

It is similar to spoken language where we say "it" or "he", in mathematics
where we say dancing floor's length "l",  starting time of dance "t0" 
and velocity of dancer "v". Also in legal texts we define shorthands for
not to write same thing over and over again.

You are mistaken. Pronouns like it, him, they, there, then are used

We do exactly same what is done in spoken language, mathematics
or legal texts. We use shorthands. That is not done for obfuscating
but for DRY. Don't repeat yourself.

Are you basing that opinion on code that *you* have written, or are
you basing it on code by other people that you have had to read?

Because I am basing my opinion on tons and tons of code that I have
had to read. Clearer variable names (such as loop variable names)
make a world of a difference in understanding the code.

When I'm writing code, I sometimes find myself instinctively and
out of old bad habit using eg. loop variable names that are too
short and too cryptic, and I have been trying to unlearn this bad
habit and use clearer names. I myself can then see clearly the
difference that makes when I have to read my own code much later.

This is *especially* the case with nested loops. With some very
short single loops you could perhaps get away with using
single-letter index variables. But the longer the loops, and the
more they are nested, the more important it becomes to name the
loop variables clearly.

> What you typically write like "foobar" ... to me just "f" is lot better
> as "foobar" anyway means nothing.   

Then that name is poorly chosen. It's not about length. It's about
clarity. The name should clearly express what the thing is for, or
what it's doing.

Why are people so obsessed with length? For the umpteenth time:
Length doesn't matter. Length is irrelevant. It's not about making
names longer or shorter. It's about making them more legible and
easier to understand. Oftentimes that means making them longer,
but that's just an irrelevant side-effect, not the core goal.

Names do not become clearer if they are shorter or longer. They
become clearer based on their content. Sometimes clearer does mean
longer, but that's just a side effect.

I always love it when people give counter-examples by adding
completely redundant words to the variable names, just for the
sake of making them longer.

"image_index" is a better name than "index_of_current_image" because
it doesn't contain redundant information. (The fact that it's also
shorter is irrelevant. As said, length does not matter.)

Use as many (full English) words to express what the thing is for,
but do not add redundant words that add no useful information.

I still fail to undrestand how this is so controversial and worthy of
such heavy opposition. We are not writing code for the Obfuscated C
Code Contest here.

> It is similar to spoken language where we say "it" or "he"

There we go again with the length argument. How many times do I have
to repeat that it's not about the length? A word being shorter or
longer is completely irrelevant. It's not about the length of the word.
It's about clarity and legibility.

> in mathematics

Mathematics is an extremely poor example because mathematicians are
almost proud about the fact that their scribbles are as compressed
and cryptic as possible.

> Also in legal texts we define shorthands for
> not to write same thing over and over again.

As with length, also repetition does not matter. Legibility does. If
repeating the same word twenty times makes the code more understanable,
that's all that matters. The repetition itself is irrelevant. We don't
need to save disk space.

I could add a kind of corollary to my "use as many words as necessary,
but no more" sentiment: "Repeat the same name in your code as many
times as necessary, but no more."

They are full words. They are not contractions or acronyms.

Using mathematics and legal text as examples of "legible" and
"understandable" text is just hilarious. Legalese is anything but.

As for spoken language, you don't speak using contractions. You
speak using full words.
