Tip: When naming a variable that stores a list, avoid needless suffixes
Tip: When naming a variable that stores a list, avoid needless suffixes.
Avoid:
🚫userData
🚫userList
🚫userArray
🚫userItems
Instead, keep it simple. Just use a plural noun:
✅users
I generally prefer code that reads like we speak.
Nobody looks at a long line and says "woah, that's a big customerList".
They'd say "That's a long line".
So, I might name the array customerLine or customerQueue. But if it's the only list, I might simply name it "customers".
