Probably 0. :)

How often do you see a variable named "O"?

"To tell them apart", a former coworker used the variables named:

     style1
     stylei
     stylel
Ironically, they were still there for some time after I'd left.

It is a real optimist who thinks that the obviously wrong thing to do in code has never been done, or even that it's not the most commonly done thing.

I think you meant "probably O"
