And it's also a very good idea to use a loop variable name that means _something_.
i = index, plenty of meaning :-)
You make my point, exactly. It is _not_ and index! Practical, running, production _real_ software is quite a different thing than an isolated algorithm illustrated in a book, where i, j, k and other such meaningless identifiers are acceptable because: 1) There's little or no other code to confuse things; 2) There's a great deal of explanatory and supporting text surrounding the exposition of the algorithm.
