Naming Identifiers

Good practices for naming identifier

Though you can name identifiers in any way you want, it’s a good practice to give a descriptive identifier name.
Names should be logical.
If you are using an identifier for a variable to store the number of students, it is better to use students, numberOfStudents, or number_of_students rather than x or n.


              1234567891011
            
//valid but not preferable
let n = 10;
console.log(n);

// clear and descriptive name
let numberOfStudents = 10;
console.log(numberOfStudents);

//clear and descriptive name
let number_of_students = 10;
console.log(number_of_students);

In both cases, the output is the same but the second and the third identifiers are more meaningful.
