A quick tip for better variable names
A quick tip for better variable names
Whenever you store a value that has a unit in a variable, config option or CLI switch, include the unit in the name. So:
- maxRequestSize=>- maxRequestSizeBytes
- elapsedTime=>- elapsedSeconds
- cacheSize=>- cacheSizeMB
- chargingTime=>- chargingTimeHours
- fileSizeLimit=>- fileSizeLimitGB
- temperatureThreshold=>- temperatureThresholdCelsius
- diskSpace=>- diskSpaceTerabytes
- flightAltitude=>- flightAltitudeFeet
- monitorRefreshRate=>- monitorRefreshRateHz
- serverResponseTimeout=>- serverResponseTimeoutMs
- connectionSpeed=>- connectionSpeedMbps
EDIT: I know itβs better to use types to represent units. Please donβt write yet another comment about it. You can find my response to that point here: https://programming.dev/comment/219329
