Loop counters Memes

The duality of programmer brain function is hilariously accurate here. For regular variables, it's absolute chaos - fighting over whether to use temp , result , or just mash the keyboard with myVar . But for iteration variables? The council has convened and unanimously decreed: "We shall use 'i' and nothing else." The formal ceremony of loop counter naming has remained unchanged since the ancient days of FORTRAN. Bonus points if you graduate to j for nested loops while feeling incredibly sophisticated.
