if used in a sensible way, one letter vars add to simplicity
and readability of code...it really depends on the context.
var=othervar[i];
most people will use this approach...it makes sense, i is the
index used to deref a value in an array. n is also commonly
used here, nth index...
jst as, x and y are often used index 2d arrays..
it doesnt really matter, but people tend to relate single
letter vars to temp locals..scratch vars..
for(int i=0;i<gvec_len;++i)gvec[i]*=gvec[i];
another common use may be..
enum{X,Y,Z};
vec[X]=0.5f;
vec[Y]=0.5f;
vec[Z]=0;
then again, perhaps im totally wrong :] ;)
