Avoid reusing the names of other functions as local variable names. For | |||
example, try to avoid naming local variables ''abs'', ''log'', or ''pow''. | |||
These functions may be used in a later change and may lead to confusing | |||
errors. | |||
An exception is the use of ''i'' and ''j'' as loop indices. If a function | |||
has nothing to do with complex arithmetic, it is common and acceptable to | |||
use ''i'' and ''j'' as local variables in for loops. | |||
