Coding question about "i" variable

Hello folks,

I might be a very stupid question for you programmers, but I can't help it... Sorry.

The above code uses "i" as a variable. Is there a reason why "i" is/should be used? Can I use whatever else instead (e.g. "ii" or "j" or "MyName")?

I'd appreciate some clarification.

Thanks.

You can use anything

As long as it isn't a predeclared variable like Time or a reserved word like "If".

Thank you for the clarification!

I'm just curious and know it's not very important, but somehow it seems that the "i" is the first choice in plenty of code. Anybody know why?

Greetings.

i is short for index ... index being the position in the array thats being processed

Thank you, rangebound!
