Following the the best practices while declaring a variable.  These best practices maintains code readability, understandability as project code size increases.

• Variables names should be short or long enough as per the scope. For example, loop counter variable, i is fine whereas employee as loop variable.
• Specific words should not be used like equals, compare, data.
• Use meaningful names which can explain the purpose of the variable. For example cnt Vs counter.
