Naming Conventions

Hi guys,

Would it be okay to say that naming conventions aid a programmer in identifying certain inputs, outputs and calculations that will occur during a program?

Obviously there is more that can be added to that, but I'm not sure if that^ statement is correct.

Thanks

Naming conventions help more with understanding the purpose/function/type of variable just be looking at it.

Identifying inputs, outputs and calculations is more to do with internal documentation - internal documentation helps the reader of the code to understand what is going on.

Just as knight said, naming conventions aid the reader in helping them understand what elements or variables do, including their type. It minimises the repetition of words.
