Is a variable named i unacceptable? [closed]

Answer 1

i is fine, but something like this is not:

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
    for (int j = 0; j < 10; j++)
    {
        string s = datarow[i][j].ToString(); // or worse
    }
}

Very common for programmers to inadvertently swap the i and the j in the code, especially if they have bad eyesight or their Windows theme is "hotdog". This is always a "code smell" for me - it's kind of rare when this doesn't get screwed up.
