Using sensible variable names is "ancient", but it was often overlooked. You could read about it already in every good programming book over 30 years ago, especially in the standard programming work: Code Complete from 1993.
And there is something else that you can find/found not only there, the use of brackets in C, Java & Co.

Even back then, in 1993(!), it was pointed out that this type of bracketing have costed hundreds of thousands of man-hours in troubleshooting. But it is ineradicable! People still use brackets like this. --> Now about . . . 100 million man-hours? Or could it be a bit more?

Code: (Select All)
int main(void) {
float betrag = 10000.0, zinssatz = 0.0;
if (betrag > 50000) {
zinssatz = 3.0;
} else if (betrag > 10000) {
zinssatz = 2.0;
} else if (betrag > 0) {
zinssatz = 1.0;
} else {
zinssatz = -0.2;
}
printf("Fertig!\n");
return(0);
}
