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