I always thought i for index when iterating through an array. Then you can't use i again in a nested loop so j follows.
Tho sometimes x, y if the array represents coordinates.
Only a maniac would use a, b.
One of the very first lines of code I ever wrote was:
10 FOR a = 1 TO 70
In Spectrum Basic. I do tend to use I these days, I’ve calmed down since my childhood days 😀
