Can you show us your full variable declarations?

[Thomas1965]

Some people prefix their vars or constants with a letter. So g could mean global, k could mean constant, f is sometimes used for flags i.e. bool.

It looks like a version of Hungarian Notation:

Also some people put "no" in front of variable names to indicate it is a running count of something.

Like noDogs means "number of dogs".

But people who don't know this will get confused thinking "no dogs" and just be like "what?! is it a boolean?!?!".

If I were to use a prefix to indicate a running count of dogs it would be something like numDogs, to make it self-documenting. I agree noDogs would be confusing.

Plus, although I'm a cat guy, noDogs would be sad :( ...
