Question

I'm new in the whole programming thing but basically what is the point of using pig latin when coding?

Answer 1

Do you mean "pig" the language? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_%28programming_language%29
pig latin is used to hide your meaning in front of children. It is not used in coding

Answer 2

I meant like when instead of frog you would say ogfray

for example: pigLatinWord = word + "ay ";

or

String ayString = "ay";
String pigString;

Answer 3

Okay, so what is the question? "What is the point?" cannot be answered, since you came up with the programming problem.

Answer 4

In other words when will i need to use pig latin when coding?

Answer 5

I think you are confused. You make up your own words/coding practices yourself.

So you could say worda = wordb + "e";

int a = 10;

String s = "skjfklsdafjslkd";

etc

Answer 6

Pig latin has nothing to do with coding. You can name variables anything except the "reserved words" (such as "if" and "while"). For C++, these words can be found here:

Answer 7

Ok i understand thanks so much guys

Answer 8

Yeah, maybe your professor just decided to do that, which is w/e he wanted I guess... Usually you here the normal Comp Sci lingo "foo/bar" but there are a few others. So like int foo = 5;

String bar = "lasagna";

Answer 9

But like I said before always name it as something you can remember.

byte faceShelf, pattern;
float x, y, w, h;
short depth;
String name;
Long side;
int x1;
int y1;
int w1;
int h1;

With this I know exactly what is what and also another important thing is what makes a good programmer a good programmer is his ability to write code others can understand. Most likely you will be correcting other people's code/ sharing code with others in a group(depending on your work). So if they cannot read your code, you're in trouble...

I am lucky enough to be working on my own and with 1 other person, but the code is all mine for the most part.
