Conventions for parameters and operands
The following conventions are commonly used for representing parameters and operands of functions:
x, y, z
: A number that may be integer or decimal.d
: A number in degrees.p, q
: A probability between 0 and 1.n, m
: An integer number.s, t
: Text values.c
: Character (a text value containing a single character).I, J, K
: The identifier of an index variable.V, W
: The identifier of a variable.a, b
: A Boolean value or expression.e
: An expression.
Note that the common stylistic convention uses capital names when it identifies an Object (alias semantics) and lower case names when it identifies a value (value semantics). Hence, index and variable parameter names are capitalized, other parameter names are lower case.
