Naming the program elements

Meaningful and descriptive element naming can greatly improve the source code's readability. It allows easy comprehension of the logical flow of the program. It is amazing how software developers still give names to program elements that are too short or not descriptive enough, such as giving a variable a letter name or using acronyms for variable naming. 

Generic or elusive names for elements lead to ambiguity. For example, having a method name as Extract() or Calculate() at first glance results in subjective interpretations. The same is applicable to using vague names for variables. For example:

int x2;

string xxya;

While program element naming in itself is an art, names are to be selected to define the purposes as well as succinctly describe the elements and ensure that the chosen names comply with the standards and rules of the programming language being used.
