Another situation in which I needed to disable such kind of warnings
is while working with graphics modules.
I often use variable names such as x, y, z for coordinates, or r,g,b for colors.
Would longer names make the reader's life easier?
Interesting point. Which is really easier to read:
x, y, z = p.nextpoint()
xCoordinate, yCoordinate, zCoordinate = polygon.nextPointCoordinates()
-s
Although intuitively I would say the shorthand, however that is
depending on the context being me knowing at least the basics of 3d
spaces and having the pre-warning that you are going to mention
something with either coordinates or colours.
Take away this pre-information, as you would when first reading an
application, and all of the sudden the latter would be much clearer to
the fellow programmer.
