Noob syntax question re: variables

-

i'm new programming side of things.  so after reading variables should named person can consume easily, wondering...   verbosity of variable names matter once code compiled?   in other words, long variable names take more memory space in program short ones?

for example:

byte myvar = 1;
or
byte myveryusefullydescriptivevariablename = 1;

thanks!

i think not.

it's alias actual variable (adress in ram) compiler translates in appropriate machine instructions when compiling.  :)

Using EEPROM to store an array

-
i'd store 4 digit passcode eeprom.  i'm thinking of doing following: code: [select] char passcode[4] = eeprom.read(1, 2, 3, 4) does make sense?  is there simple way read eeprom directly array? quote does make sense? yes. work? no. quote is there simple way read eeprom directly array? use loop read value each element of array.

ineffecient to access arrays out of sequence

-
basically little observation made when accessing arrays out of sequence. i had inside isr, , affected performance worse. found pretty strange code little bit of isr. tried have array element 2 @ top (not important @ of course). code: [select]  for ( int x=0 ; x<4 ; x++ )  {    for ( int y=0 ; y<4 ; y++ )    {      int cx = x+1;      int cy = y+1;      int fivecy = 4 - y; // 5-cy      face[2][x][y] = cube[cx][fivecy][0]; // top (face 2)      face[0][x][y] = cube[5][cx][cy];      face[1][x][y] = cube[cx][0][cy];      face[3][x][y] = cube[0][cx][fivecy];      face[4][x][y] = cube[fivecy][5][5-cx];      face[5][x][y] = cube[cx][cy][5]; // bottom (face 5)    }  } putting in sequence made faster again. thought wouldn't matter, guess compiler optimizations when arrays accessed in sequence? i have since optimized isr ~40% latency, these 2 versions (array in sequence vs out-of-sequence), had latency of 53 timer2 clock cycles (86% latency) , (see...
