Variable Rounding Issue

@mstjohn

I’d also recommend using a naming convention (e.g. pre-pend and “f”) to indicate the data type of your tags.

I do this a lot as it is a habit I developed a long time ago. I’m starting to come around though… Mostly because I am spending too much time searching for variables in large projects that pertain to the same piece of equipment.

I’m now starting to use @Beno’s approach:

What's in a name? Chose tag names wisely

There are lots of different ways to do the same thing when programing. Mary has got the ball rolling on an important topic, I really want to give it a bit more of a push… When I program, I don’t use Hungarian notion… for me, I really could not see the point. In fact, in my mind, its more of a hindrance than a help; so here’s my take on tag names… PAC Control does a great job in telling you what type each variable is, both in the strategy tree and when selecting variables when programming. T…

By prefixing with the equipment name, it speeds up locating the variables. If we had a way of creating folders or grouping variables (structs?) then this wouldn’t be an issue for me. I still do the hungarian thing for looping and temporary variables though.
