: Just personal style; I strongly disapprove of single character variables and the pseudo-code on which the solution was based used single characters. Adding underscore to the names was a less invasive change than renaming the variables (but would perhaps have made the code more self-explanatory: mea culpa). However using underscore in iterator names helps me find them easily and with iterators, concise is nice. Another plus is that it's easier to but the cursor between two characters when double-clicking than to try to grab a single character in some IDEs. --[[User:Alansam|Alansam]] 15:12, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
