CProgramming utrekgir147 8h why use identifiers i, j, k, n I stead of x or y Question Hi l just started studying c programming and algebra and am wondering if there is a reason the course I'm taking suggests using the Letters I,j,k,n, for identifiers in computer science? I noticed this in algebra also, does it have to do with it not being on the x and Y axis-? Im truly very lost in the theoretical foundations aspect of math and science. 12 34 Share BEST COMMENTS DoingRudies 8h They stand for index, jindex, kindex and index. 5 Reply 4 176 J Zstorm999 8h From now on I will only accept this explanation 43
