Variable Naming in Programming
Almost all programming languages allow the programmer a great deal of freedom when naming variables in a program's source code. It may seem like this is an obvious advantage, as it gives the programmer a great deal of flexibility. However, this level of freedom may incorrectly reflect the notion that variable naming is unimportant. Since variables can be named in many different ways, they often are, and the result is a high degree of inconsistency that can be problematic for code readability and maintenance.
