Reinitializing variables & their speed sacrifice

[nbaztec]

No it's not. Ease of maintenance and readability is way, way, way more important than saving two bytes. Variables should be named to give an indication of what they do and how they're used. If somebody that worked for me named variables a, b and c, they'd be rewriting their code or looking for new work. Code has to be easy to understand.

uhh...seems you missed my point there... I also added this:

"Though I personally declare separate variables in my day-to-day projects, which span thousands of lines, just for the sake of better understandability of various variables."

I meant in simple programs like Matrix Calculators, Star/Number Pyramids (From MFC to this, I sometimes lol), etc. etc. why declare another variable.
