You know what the acronym stands for because I told you. It was not told
in the code I'm talking about. I had to figure it out myself, once again
because to the programmer it was clear but not to the reader. This is
completely useless wasting of time of the reader for no benefit.

In addition, when the code is full of cryptic acronyms, it becomes
harder to read because it's just a big bunch of random-looking characters
instead of clear English words. If the variable is named "test_point_right"
I can see all of its uses in the code quite clearly with a quick visual
scan. If it's named "tpr" I cannot, especially when it's mixed with other
acronyms like "tpl" and similar, plus a bunch of C++ syntax, all highly
compressed into a small space full of letters and non-ascii characters.

There's literally no reason to prefer "tpr" over "test_point_right".
There are no benefits of any kind, there are only drawbacks.

There /are/ benefits - everyone has been telling you about them.

The problems you face have nothing to do with the use of short names or 
abbreviations - that's a red herring.  They are entirely a matter of 
trying to understand code without appropriate context and information.

It doesn't matter if the variable is called "test_point_right" or "tpr" 
- what matters is that you know what that means.  It is utterly 
irrelevant that "test_point_right" is a long name with full words, if 
the person reading the code doesn't know what it means.  And if they 
know that the function is for generating left and right test points (and 
know what these are), then "tpr" is a better choice than 
"test_point_right" because it is simple, short, quick to read and does 
not waste time on redundant information.


There can be many reasons why you are looking at code that you don't 
understand - and as many remedies for making the process more efficient. 
  But from what you have said here, it is not the short name of the 
variable that is the main issue.  It is, at most, a symptom of a bigger 
problem.

No, there literally are zero benefits. None. There are only drawbacks.

I find it hilarious that you are arguing about code that I myself had to
review and understand, telling me that the acronym is better than the
fully written version, against what I can see with my own eyes. (And
btw, the variable was changed to use full English words. And not even
by my suggestion but another reviewer's. I was not the only one who
found the code harder to understand because of poor variable naming.)

You are just arguing for the sake of arguing at this point.

Oh, man. Didn't you know? tpr stands for:

topographic_perspective_recognition

Got it? ;^o

Here is some older work of mine, are the variable names too verbose?

Not a full program, but the recursive version of one of my ball bearing 
algorithms. An example:

Many of the variable names, like "start_angle", "ball_diameter" and
"ball_inner_radius", make the code a lot easier to understand (compared
to if you had done what a good portion of programmers does, which is to
use variable names with 1-3 characters).

The meaning of some variables, like "r_i" and "r_max", is less clear.
(I don't really think the meaning could even be easily deduced. The
"r" probably doesn't stand for "radius", because "radius" is otherwise
used unabbreviated in the code. Probably needs more context to know
what it is.) At a minimum the code could benefit from some comments
explaining what those are, if they can't be written as full words.

The parameter name "n" could definitely have been named more clearly,
as it's not obvious at all what its role is. In fact, the function
name itself, "ct_bearing", could perhaps better tell what it actually
does.

Personally I'd prefer if you hadn't eschewed the use of the std::
prefix.

They are the recursion parameters for this version of ct_bearing. If r_i 
 >= r_max we bail out of the recursion. Yes, they can be better names. 
For instance, take a look at some more old code of mine, I name them 
differently:

https://pastebin.com/raw/mGar95sa

This is a language processing that generates frames for the following 
rendering:

Agreed. I need to make a heck of a lot more comments. Thank god that the 
posted code is personal to me. I use pastebin for quick code snippets 
from time to time. Actually, I have some full programs on there. For 
instance, can you run this one? It should dump out a list of ppm images 
for use in a volumetric renderer:

https://pastebin.com/raw/v1NNbDRz

Some older C99 of mine. When you get some time, does it run for you?


> The parameter name "n" could definitely have been named more clearly,

It is the n in an n-ary polygon. So, 5-ary would be a pentagon. n = 5 penta.

Iirc, this code with its special scales was for a special tiling I did 
out of the ball bearings. Fwiw, here is an older animation, tiles 
bearing in a Julia set:

I am a C programmer at heart. std::size_t damn it!

There are several people that I know, and it's my understanding they are
far from unique, who fully agree with the sentiment that the 'std::'
prefix should always be explicitly used in every name from the standard
library, and they do use that prefix every single time... except for
'size_t' and the type aliases from <cstdint>. They consistently and
meticulously do not use the prefix with those, ever. They use the
prefix with every single other name from the standard library, except
with those. I have never heard a good explanation of why. They do it
even when are fully aware that those names are officially defined
inside the std namespace (and that they are not eg. keywords, or
somehow exceptional in that they are officially declared in the
global namespace.)

(AFAIK that's technically speaking not fully standard-compliant.
If I understand correctly, if you just #include <cstdint> those names
are not guaranteed to be in the global namespace. In order to guarantee
it you have to #include <stdint.h>, or use a 'using' statement. But
these people never do either.)

Oh, crap. That one only creates a single slice of the Mandelbulb at z 
axis .1. Sorry!

Sorry. I think I posted my code that dumps out a volumetric that creates 
my experimental power stack:

https://www.fractalforums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=17187

Can you see the comments in the forum? I posted pseudo-code for it 
there. Or the resulting compilation of 3d objects created from it?:

Here is one where I generate a volume:

Hey now! I think I remember where I used the special scales in that 
code. I was to get the following 5-ary fractal tile out of a tangent 
fractal bearing:

https://fractalforums.org/gallery/1612-030123070723.jpeg

I placed the 5-ary formations in a ring, and had some fun.

If you are in charge, I will increase the verbosity of my code for sure.
