Which variable name is the best to hold the area of a rectangle

Answered on

A good variable name to hold the area of a rectangle should be descriptive and meaningful. Since the area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length and width, a variable name that reflects this relationship would be appropriate. For example

In this case:

  • area_of_rectangle is a clear and descriptive variable name that indicates its purpose.
  • length and width are assumed to be variables representing the dimensions of the rectangle.

Using meaningful and clear variable names enhances the readability and maintainability of your code, making it easier for you and others to understand the purpose of the variables.
