As opposed to conductivity, or something more meaningful than Analog?Does it really matter what I name my variables?!?! I am taking a course with other people and this is how they label it!
Yes, it matters, since it enables you to avoid the types of mistake that you are making here. There are endless ways of writing code that will produce the right result - some good, some bad. Techniques such as putting your variables in the right scope, choosing meaningful names, abstracting your algorithm and structuring your code so that it is clear, will help you produce good working and maintainable code quicker and more consistently. This is what PaulS is trying to show you. If you are on a programming course and they are not teaching you these techniques, you are missing something important.
